Hi, Ray:
Daylilies also have dormant and evergreen classifications. There are dip
daylilies that have also been converted to tet to bring out a particular eye
pattern, flower size, beauty, color*, etc. There are a few hybridiziers that have
taken daylilies to another level, hexaploid. However, I do not believe that
there are any in the commercial trade.
*Color: There are a few hybridizers that are trying for green and blue DLs.
Pat Stamile has GREEN MYSTIQUE ($150 sf); Al Golden has COWBOY SCARF ($150sf);
& George Doorakian has MALACHITE PRISM ($75 sf) & EMERALD STARBURST ($150sf).
