Daylily Lavender
Heartthrob Description: Lavender
Heartthrob introduced by P. Stamile in 2003. 7" x 3 5/8"
x 2 inch blooms on 22 inch scapes. 5-way branching. (3 + terminal y) 28-30
buds. "Every hybridizer secretly dreams of having a flower with the
performance of STELLA DE ORO in the North. A flower that would be hardy
everywhere and would continually bloom throughout the bloom season. Such a
flower would start early and would have enough nocturnal blood that it would
open even in the cool nights and would have all the bells and whistles of
the finest in the new edged varieties. LAVENDER HEARTTHROB comes as close to
that picture as I have been able to do. It is one of the first 5 daylilies
to bloom in the garden and blooms without resting for 4 more rebloom sets in
Florida. The flowers are huge and in my opinion the cleanest, clearest
lavender that I have since LAVENDER MEMORIES. Unlike LAVENDER MEMORIES,
LAVENDER HEARTTHROB is wide and full and has a huge braided gold edge. An
imperative for the hybridizer wishing to incorporate continuous bloom, clear
color or dormancy in the gold edges." A great daylily. Fertile both ways,
Blooms Extra Early. Rebloomer. Fragrant. Dormant. Early morning opener.
Fragrant. Dormant. Tetraploid. |
