Buyer will receive a nice 2-3 fan division of:

EARL PORTER  scape 30”, bloom 5-1/2”, M.RE, dor,  fragrant, nocturnal, 4 branches, 40 buds; (DARK EMPIRE X PAINT IT BLACK).  This 5 1/2" showy black purple with its beautiful ruffling is far darker than parent PAINT IT BLACK, and even flatter and heavier. A true nocturnal, and blooms are fully open by midnight and are open by midnight the next day. Always FLAT-OPEN and always perfect, and the green throat is lime green by 8 p.m. on a 90° day. The color fades a little by day's end to a fluorescent deep black-violet, but is never badly damaged by either sun or rain. EARL PORTER makes huge plants and boasts extremely well-branched scapes with a bud-count as high as 40. This icon is not just a little heavier and a little darker than  other blacks, it raises the bar by a wide margin. By sundown on a 93° day, EARL PORTER is nearly unchanged, fading to a shimmering violet black. A clump of EARL PORTER at 7 p.m. on a 90° day simply glows and seems enveloped in a luminescent blue haze. 

I have bloomed quite a few stunning black seedlings from this daylily, just need more room for new keepers! Mother clump to be divided, so the division you receive will be large!  FYI, collect pollen when the petals start to crack as the flowers take a long time to open, and the sacs open early before the petals completely unfold.

Shipping is $12.00 with shipments west of Mississippi to add an additional $5.00. Paypal can be accepted for a limited time, good check or money order is fine, payable to Gayle Story. Will combine shipping to save buyer money, just keep me informed!
