HERE'S WHAT THE HYBRIDIZER HAS TO SAY ABOUT BONNIE FEE FI FO FUM:
This very ornate ruffled edged daylily is typical of a “BEST EDGE” kid, but this one never fails to open completely in the South as it is an early opening daylily. I have seen hundreds of bloom on this prolific bloomer without one hanging up. It is taller than most Best Edge seedlings at 27” to 28”. WOW, what a sight in the morning. From the deep gold/yellow throat, the color dramatically blends into a 1/2” deep magenta band which in turn the petals complete the journey in light diamond dusting pinkish magenta petals finishing in the swirly ruffled double color edge. This two-toned, very ruffled, ornate petal edge looks like a mountain switch back road with its dramatic tubular protrusions looking like teeth spread gracefully around the perimeter. The first 3/16” color edge is a very distinct deep magenta matching the eye band color. The second outside edge color is also 3/16” wide and is very light green/yellow outside in the early morning, ending the day in a yellow edge. The angel wings appearing deep in the throat add to its spectacular display. The sepals carry a very very light pinkish magenta color, so from a distance it has a appearance of a Bi-Color. Greg Crane liked this daylily and wanted me to name it "Bonnie Fee Fi Fo Fum" Note: With the sepals standing out, this round type flower has a very full look and is a great display in any garden. Limited.
BONNIE FEE FI FO FUM IS AN EVERGREEN, BUT DOES VERY WELL IN MY ZONE 5 GARDEN.

You are bidding on a double fan or two mature fans. Payment is due at the end of the auction. Let me know if you are bidding on other items and want to hold payment.
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 overwinter here, 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.
