VANESSA ARDEN
Another seedling of my numerous GOLLIWOG X ASTERISK
crosses in the 1990's, this delicate pure pale lavender Cockerel is a dormant,
nocturnally-opening flower that is stunningly clear in colour. Blooming
on branched scapes at about 26 inches, the plants seem to be pod sterile,
but relatively pollen fertile. Moderate increase. Good bloom once established.
Set pods on small plants but often rejected pollen once established (?!)
Completely unique as a flower and very easy to
grow, establishing quickly after transplanting and blooming the year after.
Increase, branching and bloom very good once established. Named for my third
child who proclaimed it the most beautiful daylily in the garden.
A beautiful, feminine addition in the Crispata
border! An personal favourite.
