Foliage type -
Dormant means the leaves dies down completely in the winter.
Semi Evergreen varieties maintain some foliage over-winter.
Evergreen varieties may maintain all foliage over the winter. The foliage state can be influenced by the severity or otherwise of the winter period.
It is often said that dormant varieties are the absolute hardiest but all offered varieties have been extensively trialled here and all are hardy.
Ploidy - Tetraploid
Ploidy - In layman's terms ploidy is the number of chromosomes a variety has. Older varieties are nearly all diploids but modern day breeding techniques resulted in improved tetraploid varieties with three chromosomes. It is difficult to distinguish between them in general plant appearance, although diploids do have ever so slightly narrower foliage. As far as the blooms are concerned tetraploids have flowers with thicker, heavier substance and fuller form and are the very pinnacle of perfection and grandeur. Diploids are not so heavily textured and can be more graceful in appearance. They also tend to open earlier in the day even when it is colder. Diploids will usually grow and increase more quickly.
Parentage - Seedling

Siloam Royal Prince Daylily (Hemerocallis)
One of my favourite ‘Siloam’ varieties with a steady succession of rich violet coloured blooms. A delight teamed with Salvia nemerosa, Artemisia Powis Castle, Caryopteris, Echinacea’s etc – very easy to work with in a border or as a solo specimen clump.

Smith Brothers Daylily (Hemerocallis)
Truly commanding with it’s dark mahogany colouring and coal-black eye zone. Superb crisp heavy texture to the blooms and a long season too. Works well with grasses such as bronze Carex and Miscanthus behind or maybe allow it to take centre stage on it’s own!

Tuxedo
Exceptional corduroy-texture together with well pigmented dark purple colouring makes this one a winner, complete with black-purple eye. Does sometimes re-bloom. An excellent purple.

American Revolution
Remains quite one of the darkest of all Daylilies and as such remains of value and in demand. The flowers have an old fashioned shape and are a stunning velvety maroon-black-red shade. The scapes are scarcely branched but so abundant this variety still flowers freely. It is also a quick grower. Looks superb planted with dark leafed Heuchera.

Chicago Blackout
A gorgeous beetroot purple and black-red blend with a small gold throat and large bold form. This old trooper remains a great border Daylily forming robust clumps which combine well in the garden with the dark red Crocosmia Lucifer, hardy Dahlia Bishop of Llandaff and Cosmos Atrosanguinea. Stunning! Planting Distance: Although forming a self contained clump it is a larger grower so a planting distance of 24" between plants is recommended.
