Auction is for 5 seeds from the cross of THISTLES AND THORNS X RAZORBEAST.
THISTLES AND THORNS TET 67404 {[(Lifting Me Higher x Fortune`s Dearest) x (Forbidden Desires x Tet Lavender Blue Baby)] x (Filled to Overflowing x Heartbeat of Heaven)}, 30” (range of 24”-32”, depending on type of soil where it is planted), M, Sev, fr, Re (MN instant rebloom on most fans) 6”, 5-way (3 laterals plus a V, with range of 4-6 way), 30 buds (with range of 20-40). Violet purple with lavender watermark and edge plus white sharks teeth and a yellow to green throat. An AMAZINGLY consistent flower in terms of the bloom, scape, rebloom, performance the summer after planting. One of my very best. Pretty, flawless blooms on every scape every day. The 1st and 4th pictures are on its sharkiest day; pictures 2 and 3 are more typical days. (Note: it won’t shark much if highs don’t get out of the 60’s and low 70’s; otherwise not an issue). Holds great in heat and sun. Good opener. Fertile both ways with sharky kids. Good reports from its test in Cleveland where it was setting pods in high heat.

Tetraploid 25" Mid Late Season Dormant emo fr 8" 3-4 way branching 15-18 buds. Fertile both ways. Rebloomer. Very good rust resistance. Northern Hardy.
Flowers are burgundy red with a lighter eye and a yellow throat. The petals have a gold to white edge which is covered with teeth.
When introducing a flower, I look at three things- 1. Is the flower an improvement over the previous generation, 2. Is it a good grower and addition to the world of daylilies, 3. Is it distinctive in some way. The minute I saw Razor Beast I was struck by how distinctive this daylily is. Have you ever seen a toothy edge that wide on that narrow of a petal? Not only do the teeth really stand out, but they change in color from white near the throat to gold near the tips of the petals. Some toothies only have teeth on the petals, while this one has teeth on petals and sepals- and not only teeth, but two colors of teeth! If you like distinctive toothy flowers, this one takes it to a whole new level.....$200 SF.
