AUCTION IS FOR 5 SEEDS FROM THE CROSS OF BENJAMIN ANDREW X WILDLY SPECTACULAR.
POD PARENT DESCRIPTION:
Benjamin Andrew (Korth-P., – Korth-L.; 2021)
28”, 6”, M, Dor., 4 branches, 24 buds, Tetraploid, Rebloom
((Lydia’s Cloth x Born to Run) x (Lydia’s Cloth x Harold Steen))
Benjamin Andrew is one of the finest daylilies we have produced. The rich burgundy color and large gold edge make for a beautiful flower. Other great attributes include minimal blemishes, pod and pollen fertility, rebloom in our climate. The parents of Benjamin Andrew include our great purple breeder – Lydia’s Cloth which contributes clear color and a lack of blemishes. The big gold edge is likely due to our fabulous Harold Steen. We are finding Benjamin Andrew to be a fine parent – passing on the big gold edge and clear colors. It is easily fertile both ways!
Benjamin Andrew was delayed for introduction as it is slow to increase but we think this trait is great for gardeners as this flower does not need to be divided as often. This unique flower is named for our grandson and is as special as he is. Very limited and will be much sought after.
POLLEN PARENT DESCRIPTION:
WILDLY SPECTACULAR
Pierce G. 820-Q ((Master and Bold Ruler x Berry Ambitious) x Quoting Hemingway) SEV EM re 32” high, 7.5” flower, 7-way branching, 35 buds. Fertile Both Ways
I wanted to save this one for next year, but… I also wanted to offer a GREAT Edged Purple – Limited, like less than 50. WILDLY SPECTACULAR is what I would call “A Perfect Daylily”. It is in my book – Flawless, and truly Spectacular. You just cannot see it in a picture. Not even close! I chose this image since it showed-off the green edging. It is a Big sparkling presence. But, in the sun the purple colors fade, so imagine it darker rich Plum.
WILDLY SPECTACULAR has that TRFK GREEN throat, the lilac watermark also painted into the edging. Blooms open perfectly and flat. See my trademark petal edge/tip – Gone, so No Hanging-up. This has taken me 15 years to breed in. And look at her specs, perfect, strong, healthy. Yes, it is actually beginning to FINALLY happen. I took WILDLY SPECTACULAR to every big edged dark hem I have. Come and see them ALL in May. Our new things make the previous look like VW beetles. Yes, I am bias but also truthful.
