We anticipate listing plants at least through April. We have some line outs and we are breaking up some clumps. Our plants look very good and we are quite proud of our listings!! WE DO NOT SELL undersized PLANTS! We describe the plants as they are now, not as we hope they will be at shipping time..  

We mix our own soil, including alfalfa, bone meal, blood meal and WORM CASTINGS. We feed primarily with Miracle Grow with minors and SEAWEED CONCENTRATE. We do not force our plants to grow. We use good old California sunshine, water, nutrients and TIME (maturity). We rely heavily on organic products for insect and disease control---we also have LADYBUGS, GREEN LACEWINGS AND PRAYING MANTIS on patrol for us.  In most cases, you will find the HYBRIDIZERS NOTES below.---Thanks for looking!!

You are bidding on a NICE DOUBLE FAN of the parent of BLACK HORNS, RAGING MANTIS and others. Easy to use.

TOOTH AND NAIL

(Benz) tet 48" M. Dor. (Forestlake Ragamuffin X Tet. Spindazzle) 

Seldom does a cross go exactly as planned and even less often does it exceed expectations on all levels. When the 80 odd sibs from the cross of (FORESTLAKE RAGAMUFFIN X TETRA SPINDAZZLE) began to bloom, I found myself flagging every other plant. Overall quality was so high, I refused to move them for a second complete bloom season and planted the new seedlings around them. We finally selected 4 for future introduction, and in many ways TOOTH AND NAIL is the finest. This one has the most perfect show scape, with 4 evenly spaced lateral branches and a terminal cluster, and a bud count of 30 or more. This is also the largest at 8" and the most narrow in form and is a cascading UFO, often twisting and curling, giving this one the most spidery appearance of any of these. Also the most fertile, and this is an easy parent both ways and has already produced dramatic tentacles and fringes longer than anything we’ve seen before. The magnificent fringed edge is, of course the major feature of this bronze bitone is the dramatic fringed edge, and this daylily has twice as many teeth as anything else in commerce. Jamie Gossard exclaimed on viewing TOOTH AND NAIL in the first year seedling bed, "I didn't think you could get that many teeth on a daylily!" This has been a major player in our quest for fringed true spiders, and we've used it with everything from LIGHTNING STORM to BLACK TWISTER.2 Also TOOTH AND NAIL is a reliable re-bloomer.....
