I’m a fan of your cultivars. If you are going to compost a seedling who’s only flaw is scapes that are way to short keep me in mind—I’d love to take it off your hands Hilarious!


...and any that you don't want, I'll gladly accept!

I'm specifically breeding for shorter plants in some of my crosses because I want shorter plants. I'm trying to hybridize for daylilies with more landscape appeal (less so for the 'collector'), and there aren't very many options out there at the moment for people who want front-of-the-flower-bed daylilies; nothing like the number of taller varieties. I'm hoping to change that...I'd like to get some shorties with bigger blooms and shorter foliage so that the blooms sit just above the leaves.
