Matthew Weldon (Pierce, G. '14) x Violets are Blue( Petit-Goff, 2014)- 5 sds
Violets Are Blue (catalog cover)
(Blast of Blue x Laws of Illusion) x (Cobalt Rings) Sev. 6-7" fl. 25" sc. M to L. 20 buds. Fertile both ways. Excellent rust tolerance and cold hardy. Choosing the “cover girl” for our Spring catalog is often difficult, but not this year. In fact, we sensed this variety could make the cover since first seeing it’s maiden bloom. Introducing ‘Violets Are Blue’, a lavender self with an enormous violet-blue eye zone with a matching extra-wide ruffled picotee surrounded by a chartreuse edge. There are daylilies with eyes which nearly cover the flower face, and good blue tones are increasingly normal. But combining these traits represents a giant leap in the evolution of blue daylilies. A true blue lily flower, where the entire petal surface is blue, is now within our grasp. A must have for hybridizers, and destined to be a perennial favorite for flower enthusiasts. Roses are red, these are $330
Matthew Weldon (Pierce G.) 1172-I (Violet Butterfly X Tet Texas Kaleidoscope) X Tet Colorful Etchings) TET EV EM 40” 5.75” flower, 5 way branching, 35-40 buds.
The moment I had Jack Carpenter’s Colorful Etchings converted the pollen went mercilessly on every patterned daylily we grow. Fortunately I was able to grow tens of thousands of Tet Colorful Etching seedlings, and are now happy to introduce one of the best; Matthew Weldon. Round, full form flowers exactly as the photo from first to last bloom from April until August when we must line them all out again. Also the big patterned eye is much bluer in person. Am I happy? You bet and I’m sure you will enjoy Matthew Weldon in your garden too. Named for a great customer in Arkansas – we are happy to name this flower for him. Fertile both ways
