HYBRIDIZER’S DESCRIPTION: From Trimmer's notes: "Tetraploid (Willie Marcus x Sdlg.) 30” EM Re. Ev. 6 ¼” Following last year’s very well received JEANNE DEAVER’S DREAM I’m proud to now introduce this excellent white and gold edged purple cultivar named for my son-in-law, Ehren Thomas Grill.This flower is very pod fertile for me. I should have waited a year to introduce with sufficient stock but I made many promises to introduce this spring and have too few plants to not sell out very quickly. Typical scapes this year had three branches with about 18 buds. Last year the bud count was quite a bit higher.The color in EHREN THOMAS is outstanding!"
Lovely flowers, wonderful rich purple, consistent white edge, good increase.

ABOUT BITTERSWEET FARM: Our ten acres of woods, ravines, and garden beds is located outside of Granville, Ohio. In this part of Ohio (zone 5), we grow in heavy clay soil that we amend with lots of manure, peat, compost, etc. Fortunately, rust does not overwinterhere, and I’ve never seen it in the garden. While I start the seeds from my own crosses each year in our small greenhouse, everything else is grown outside -- all of our named cultivars, as well as our seedlings, are field grown, hardy, and beautiful.
If possible, I like to send extra fans as bonuses instead of other plants. Please let me know if you ever have a concern about plants you receive from me. I stand behind everything I sell, and hope that you get as much pleasure from these daylilies as I do.
