ROSEMARY MUSSAR

This beautiful bright neon pink bi-tone is named for my mother. It has a strong green throat that fades to yellow as it moves far out on to the petals which are rimmed with gold toothy edges. Parentage is Bryan Culver’s Rose Electra x Reckamp’s Heavenly Pastel. Rosemary Mussar is the first introduction out of either of those parents. The neon pink colour and green throat comes from Rose Electra. Heavenly Pastel has a heavy substance with hooks and horns on the edge which this cultivar has inherited. Some of my best toothy seedlings have come from Heavenly Pastel and nobody else appears to be using it. I first made this cross a few years ago and the seedlings were so promising that Bryan recommended that I do a long cross. We planted over 100 seedlings from this cross down at his farm as I was limited for space at the time. About a dozen seedlings were selected from this cross for further evaluation and Rosemary Mussar was easily the most vigorous grower and most beautiful flower.

The scapes on this mid-late bloomer are about 27” tall, usually with at least one lateral branch and a top V. Blooms are 5” with good substance and the foliage is semi-evergreen. Pod and pollen fertile. Registered 2013. Tetraploid. Very limited availability as much of this plant will stay within the family. You are bidding on a double fan.

LOVELY DAYLILY FROM DAVE MUSSAR NAMED FOR HIS MOTHER. I DON'T SEE IT OFFERED TOO OFTEN, SO I THOUGHT I WOULD SHARE. VERY HARDY. YOU ARE BIDDING ON A DOUBLE FAN FOR IMMEDIATE SHIPMENT. THANK YOU.
