OUR LAST DAY TO SHIP FROM ALABAMA WILL BE 3-25. SHIPPING WILL RESUME FROM ILLINOIS THE WEEK OF 4-8.
AUCTION IS FOR 5 SEEDS FROM THE CROSS OF RULING SHOGUN DEREK'S TRIUMPH.
POD PARENT HYBRIDIZER'S DESCRIPTION:
RULING SHOGUN
(Benz) tet 34" M. Dor (Last Samurai X Nancy Thomas)
Huge, ruffled, and always perfect, is possibly my finest red to date. Larger than either parent at a full 6 1/2" in size, this beautiful heavily ruffled crimson red with its large green throat is a benchmark in my red program. Red color is superior to pod-parent LAST SAMURAI, and RULING SHOGUN takes size and form from NANCY THOMAS, but is larger and heavier than its renowned pollen-parent. Always flat and very sunfast, and the green throat holds. RULING SHOGUN has no “bad hair” days....always perfect regardless of cold nights. Plants are large, powerful and blue-green dormant; scapes are tall, straight and strong, with beautifully spaced 4-way branching and a total of 22 buds. Very fragrant and fertile both ways....SOLD OUT
WE BLOOMED OUR BEST EVER REDS AND PURPLES THE LAST FEW YEARS AND RULING SHOGUN IS THE PARENT MOST OF THEM HAD IN COMMON. WE PLAN TO INTRODUCE THE FIRST OF THEM IN SPRING 2019.
POLLEN PARENT HYBRIDIZER'S DESCRIPTION:
DEREK'S TRIUMPH
TET 18-13 (New Destiny X Derek’s Heart) X (Derek’s Heart) 6.75” flower, 30” scape, RE, RM, SEV, 4 way branching, 26 buds.
Is there such a thing as a perfect daylily? Probably not but Derek’s Triumph comes close. Saturated cherry red base color is amplified by a bright green throat and washed eye. Shape is so round and over lapped that you wished all your flowers looked this way. Even the blunt sepals add to the flower and on top of all that is a large ruffled cream and gold petal edge. A big Oh Wow!
THESE SEEDS HAVE BEEN AIR DRIED AND WILL HAVE BEEN IN THE REFRIGERATOR FOR AT LEAST 3 WEEKS BY AUCTIONS END.
OUR SEEDS WERE PRODUCED IN OUR GARDEN. WHILE WE RECOGNIZE THERE ARE SOME POSITIVE REASONS FOR GREENHOUSE PRODUCTION, WE LIKE TO KNOW THAT AT LEAST ONE PARENT IS HARDY HERE IN ZONE 5. THIS IS A POSITIVE THAT EVEN MANY OF OUR FRIENDS ON THE GULF COAST VALUE AFTER LAST WINTER. UNLESS OUR SEEDS HAVE TWO 2018 INTRODUCTIONS AS PARENTS, YOU KNOW THAT AT LEAST ONE PARENT CAN HANDLE COLD WEATHER.
