Heavenly New Frontiers
(Gossard, James) 2016 introduction
(Hippopotamus ) x (Wolfman)
Seedling Number :G1
Pentaploid 27" Mid Late Season Dormant emo fr 10" 3-4 way branching 18-24 buds. Fertile both ways. Rebloomer.
Unusual Form Type : Crispate
Very Good rust resistance. Northern Hardy.
Flowers of Heavenly New Frontiers are pink with lighter watermark and gold toothy edge and green throat. One of the first flowers i introduced that was ground breaking in its time was Heavenly Beginnings. Today the grandkids such as Heavenly New Frontiers have arrived. Like H beginnings was the beginning of my toothy program, H New Frontiers is going to take us into the unexplored regions, the New Frontier. First of all it is the first known Pentaploid. I expect many others to exist, but first registed as. It is extremely pod and pollen fertile. Its pollen sets on 3.5x, 4x,5x ploidy with ease. It and Heavenly Way Big are the most powerful pollens I have ever used in a daylily. The substance is much better than normal tetraploids. Below is a few photos of its different forms. I have even seen color changing and doubling in it. I believe this to be the most important daylily of the Decade. It is an outstanding garden plant as well
PIERRE S. du PONT
(Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis x Tet Siloam Goliath)
- 7” flower, 4-way branching. 30 buds on a 36” scape.
- This is one of the most beautiful clear iridescent pinks I have seen. In my mother’s garden in North Carolina, under cooler Spring temperatures, the flower sometimes has a slight coral undertone. The extreme heavy ruffling makes this plant a true standout.
- Pierre S. du Pont (1870-1954)
- One of America's most celebrated industrialists and horticulturalists. Pierre spent his entire lifetime searching the world for rare plants and established one of America's foremost private gardens, Longwood Gardens in Kennett Square, Pennsylvania
