Auction is for 5 seeds from the cross of TUSCAN BLUE X EDGE OF ADVENTURE.

POD PARENT:

TUSCAN BLUE (Dan Trimmer) Tetraploid (Happy Happy X Great Blue Heron) 27” 6” EE Re. Ev. 18 buds, fragrant This circular introduction comes out of two great breeders and was my “go to” pollen and pod parent this past year. Bloom after bloom were simply perfect regardless of heat, coolness, rain or shine. The pale ivory cream faces were set off by a large bold plum blue eye and double edge with a light spicy scent. I love circular blooms, and this look is one of the main reasons many of us converted so many southern diploids. This is what we were after. I spent many hours years ago on the phone talking with John Benz, Patrick Stamile, Matthew Kaskel and others fantasizing about someday having this flower and it's here now.

POLLEN PARENT:

*EDGE OF ADVENTURE (Pierce G.) 2150-D (Born to Be Wild x (Jailhouse Rock x Rollercoaster Rush)) TET, SEV, EMre, 40” high, 5.75” flower, 7 way branching, 50-60 buds. EXT, Extra Pod Fertile, Rich Color.

I’ve said it before “what a great parent Born to Be Wild has been for me. EDGE OF ADVENTURE continues to make her contributions to the “Keepers Pool” due mainly to her perfect plant habits and loving fertility. She is basically a better Born to be Wild. Better scape, much more saturated in color, in fact the garden nickname is Colorful. She looks just like the photo, is fabulous from frills to narrow arching foliage. In addition, EDGE OF ADVENTURE is the most ever blooming daylily that I grow. Even now at the beginning of October all the clumps have scapes that I keep breaking off. This is after two sets of rebloom scapes, podded to the tilt, then maybe 2-4 sets since. We are breeding racehorses nowadays, all of us. Such a long road from Fulva. She has never lost a plant and to me is perfect in every way. Super extra pod fertility and superb plant habit.
