WILLIE BELLE (Childs 1982) M 28" DOR glossy lavender pink 6˝" Unusual Form with purple eye. Pod parent of KIRSTEN'S CORSAGE, MARVELOUS, SAMBA TANTAN and Clayton Burkey's extreme quilled SCISSORHANDS; pollen parent of BANSHEE CRADLESONG, DEVELOPING STORY and STARMAN'S VOYAGE. Throwing a wide range of twisted shapes, true spiders, clear colors and even reverse bicolors, I find it as much fun to use as PRAGUE SPRING and PRETZEL LOGIC.  Named for Willie Belle (Mrs. Luther M.) Wilson of Kentucky, the hybridizer of such greats as LILTING BELLE and SPINDAZZLE. Fertile both ways, it makes skinny fans and is a notoriously slow increaser but doesn’t pass this trait.

You are considering one bare root double fan or, rarely, two single fans 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.
