Christmas Red Daylilies

December 24, 2011 – Merry Christmas to all.

Each year at Christmas time I like to look at pictures of red (Christmas color) daylilies from last summer and pick out a few of the best. Here are my picks from summer 2011.

Rocks Cry Out – variable color but on cooler days, a good red color.  2009 introduction and excellent parent for reds. 

Rocks Cry Out seedling 121-1 – Nicely round and ruffled. 

Seedling 121-5 – full sib to above 121-1 with clear red color. 

Potential introduction out of Born to Run – seedling 959-3. 

Red seedling 184-3 with violet tones.  We like the watermark and edge.

Seedling 171-1 – (809-3 x Born to Run) – clear cherry red with white edge.

Cast Your Crown seedling 133-1.  Great color with gold toothy edge.

Diploid seedling – large green throat and nice clear red petals.

Born to Run seedling 3-10.  Nice bitone with gold toothy edge.Â
