AUCTION IS FOR 5 SEEDS FROM THE CROSS OF RULER OF NATIONS X SILKEN BREEZE.

POD PARENT DESCRIPTION:

RULER OF NATIONS

TET 18014 (Sea of Glass x sdlg), where the sdlg's parents have patterns (swords and echoes) and two of the grandparents include Trouble in Paradise and All Things To All Men. 6”, registered at 32” (but can be 26” in some years and locations), 3-way branching (range of 3-6 way), 20 buds (range of 16-37), ML (to almost late), Sev, fr, instant Re in GH on all fans with scapes and outside in MN sometimes on 80%. Good opener into the low 60's (not great below that), no spotting, scapes fabulous in the GH so should be higher branching going south. Nice foliage. Magenta; icy lilac watermark; lilac plus ivory edge; green throat. This is such a lovely flower that  when it first bloomed in the greenhouse I didn't believe it would be hardy in Minnesota but it is!  Not only is it a beautiful garden flower, but it is a FABULOUS PARENT FOR HARDY DAYLILIES WITH ROUND FORMS, GORGEOUS FACES, FANCY EDGES, CHALKY WATERMARKS, GOOD SCAPES AND BUDCOUNT, AND A VERY HIGH PERCENTAGE OF KEEPER FLOWERS. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED FOR ANY HYBRIDIZER WITH THESE GOALS. ANYONE should be able to get gorgeous daylilies out of Ruler of Nations (hint: cross it with other introductions of mine with chalky watermarks as well as those by Guy Pierce if you have them - e.g. Master and Bold Ruler). As I said with All Things to All Men when it was introduced, IF YOU DON'T GET BEAUTIFUL INTRODUCTION QUALITY SEEDLNGS FROM RULER OF NATIONS YOU SHOULD PROBABLY TAKE UP A DIFFERENT HOBBY. Easily fertile for me both ways (in the greenhouse where I make my crosses).
