Whoever- it's just a matter of time- develops a TRULY white (or black) daylily will be famous, and make some money. But.... unlike reds, pinks, oranges, etc., in which shades can be introduced, true white or black will sort of be the end of the road for that solid color. We could get bigger, more frilly, or something else, but white is white. Now, those different colored edges or eyes or patterns WOULD open up many possibilities! Maybe someone here knows why it is so difficult (near impossible) to come up with true white (or black) daylilies.
What WILL be the next big breakthrough in daylilies? The $64,000 question.
