How many times have we seen or heard the phrase "daylilies will not come true from seed." That is true, but I just watched a video by Karol Emmerich and she made the statement that some daylilies are so strong that they produce seedlings that nearly all look almost identical to their parents. She went on to say that those are not the kind of plants we want to use in hybridizing, because we are after plants that look different.
So naturally it seems that if the hybridizers are all breeding for plants that do not come true from seed that is certainly what we end up with. I am just wondering how close they could come to seed produced plants that would be almost clones of the parents if they tried?
