Auction is for 5 seeds from the cross of RED ROCKS X PURPLE GOLIATH.
POD PARENT:
*RED ROCKS (Pierce G.) 1453-A ((When Royals Dream x sdlg) x Red Bull) TET SEV EMRE 40”, 6.5” flower, 7 way branching, 40 Buds.
I’ll say it again. Breeding for the ultimate modern red daylily is by far my toughest challenge.
So to meet this challenge is RED ROCKS. Ruffled, ruffled, and ruffled, this true red has lots of ruffles. Large and quite round with a green throat, RED ROCKS is an improvement over Red Bull. RED ROCKS rocks a tremendous thick scape and is nicely pod fertile, because I know you are going to want to put pollen on her… Again like all my introductions RED ROCKS does not hang and is nice and flat. This was not to be introduced until 2016 so she is scarce. Limited. Luckily she makes prolifs. Fertile both ways.
POLLEN PARENT:
Purple Goliath
(Grace, Larry/Gossard, James) 2017 introduction

Seedling number 335-13
Tetraploid 34" Midseason Semi-Evergreen emo fr 9" 3 way branching 18-22 buds. Fertile both ways. Rebloomer.
Flowers of the daylily, " Purple Goliath " are purple with a lighter eye zone, white edge, and green throat. Flowers tend to bloom at 8 inches but continue to grow over the day, becoming 9 to 10 inches in diameter. You're getting genetics found nowhere else. Just one generation from having monster 10 to 12 inch ruffled daylilies which are totally sunfast, opening in even the coldest nights. If you're breeding goliath-sized daylilies, this is a must-have. Think of the possiblies of crossing Purple Goliath with Guy Pierce's Master and Bold Ruler. It doesn’t stop there either: Purple Goliath also carries the color changer genes from Substantial Evidence. It also has Lights of Detroit in its genetics, which creates flowers of heavy substance and flat-faced hibiscus form. Want teeth too? The genetics goes back to Fortune's Dearest, coming from grand parents of Marietta Heartbeat, which goes back to Emmerich's Heartbeat of Heaven. And a huge amount of dormant genes. Rot-proof and excellent resistant to rust. Certainly, to be one of the most sought after flowers of 2017.........$300
