MADAM BESSEMER* (Schwarz 2005 introduction registered in 2004) M 24" DOR 8½" rich velvety burgundy red self above spectacular large green throat with 4 branches and 25 buds. A pollen fertile tetraploid, but I've yet to set a pod on it. A worthy name since Bob says it is "named for the great furnaces that blast pig iron into steel." If you have some free time, google "Bessemer converter" -- but only after you check out the much better photo of this cultivar on Bob's Rainbow Daylily Garden website. A good increaser that makes average-sized fans, it's a Crispate Unusual Form (Seedling X Tetra SPIDER MIRACLE).

You are considering one bare root double fan that would be mailed in spring, 2015. Shipping usually begins in May but there have been years where I was able to ship as early as the second week in April.

The garden is state inspected. We have never had daylily rust nor daylily leafminer.

Payment: Unless prior arrangements have been made, payment is expected within 10 days following the close of this auction.
