As previously mentioned, 'Jersey Early Bird Cardinal' is the marketing name of 'Endless Heart' (The AHS registered name), an introduction from the breeding/propagation partnership (At that time) of D. Apps & Blew Nursery. This is a cultivar that has been patented (One of several selected cultivars) to control wholesale propagation & distribution for Blew Line Nursery (Also Centreton Nursery).
The most recent JEB intro is 'Jersey Early Bird Oriole' (Orange blooms) which it seems is registered as 'Centerton One' with the AHS & is also patented (PP24129?)
There are expected to be other daylily cultivars introduced in this manner (Two different names) over the coming years as well - probably as yellows, whites, etc.. Mass marketing is now the norm for most popular plants, as is patenting for control of the better performers in their categories (ie - lilacs; flowering shrubs; ornamental trees; specific perennials; etc. .... Some 'Boutique Nurseries' & local retailers will, of course, continue to offer these as well as the other 80,000 (almost) registered varieties.
I put forth this explanation to minimize some confusion .... For the typical gardener, it matters not if the plant they purchased & grow is called 'Jersey Early Bird Cardinal' or 'Endless Heart'. However, the majority of readers & participants of the ATP forum & Database tend to want to be a bit more informed, aware & accurate with their records & garden tags etc.
There exists a considerable amount of information on the Internet about any of the names given here. Both JEBC & JEBO have had quite extensive marketing promotions in their year of release to the marketplace. ... Not to be confused with the dates of AHS registration - The nursery needs a few years to develop inventories before presenting their newest cultivars to their retail customers & thus ultimately to the gardeners and daylily collectors & breeders of North America.
