Inspiration for the cross - Dragon Rider was a gift plant from Rod Lynse, and it fits in well with his other dark purple to near black introductions. Dark Dubonnet was a gift plant from Schreiner's a couple years back, and 2023 was the first year I got some blooms. It's been slow to settle in this far north, but I can see the potential and will give it more time. When it came to making this cross, all I saw were two VERY dark blooms that I felt compelled to put together...for the gift of more darkness! This is the only offering of this cross for 2023.

Winter 2023-2024 is our second season selling daylily seeds hybridized by Matt (dad) and Ethan (son) in our zone 4b (sometimes 3b) garden in Duluth, Minnesota, at the tip of Lake Superior! (we've been selling hosta seeds for a few years now)! We took good notes, had lots of help from fellow hybridizers, and we're excited to share what we've created this year!
All seeds are from the 2023 season unless otherwise noted. All photos are of our own plants unless otherwise noted (getting teeth to express this far north?!!)
All seeds air dried for at least 2 days, some many more. The first seeds from 2023 went into refrigeration on 9/27/22, and we are continuing to pack and store seeds at this time. We have done a meticulous job preparing these seeds, and they are sold as-is (again, see our About Me page for full terms). Please do not bid if you are uncomfortable with the information we've provided.
Payment
We prefer PayPal payments; note that you can pay with your credit card even if you don't have a PayPal account. You are welcome to rack up wins over multiple auction cycles; please just check in with us if you're going to continue bidding. We'll simply collect your total when you're ready to have us ship! If you haven't won in a while, we'll ask that you settle your tab within 7 days of your last win. Bottom line, just communicate in a timely fashion and everything should go well!
United States
Shipping - USPS First Class - $5 for up to 10 packets. All seeds shipped with padded envelopes with extra bubble wrap. Priority Mail is also available; Small Flat Rate boxes can hold dozens of packets and will be just $11.00. If we can charge you less for shipping, we will. For other quantities or shipping options, please ask!
Minnesota residents, we are required to collect sales tax on your purchases; our local Duluth rate is 8.875%
Canada
Please inquire before bidding. We have found shipments to Canada became increasingly slow and problematic during the pandemic.
All Other Countries - We are not shipping to any other countries at this time. We cannot provide phytosanitary certificates (prohibitively expensive here in Minnesota!) Please do not ask, as the answer will simply be no.
