Despite winning the Stout Medal back in 1972, not a superstar in Daylily terms but I really like this older clear yellow with it's nice carefree form, fragrance and clarity of colour. One I will always keep and a good landscaper.
Plant 20" apart or a little close if in groups of 3 or more, or grow in 5 litre capacity containers.

Name - Branch 1964
Name - The name of the hybridizer and date of introduction.
Season of flowering - Mid
Season of flowering -
Early usually starts mid-late June.
Mid Season is late June with main flowering through July.
Late season is late July and into August.
Please note flowering period can be affected by positioning and seasonality factors. By selecting varieties with different flowering periods you will get the longest period of bloom.
Bloom size - 5"
Bloom size - The bloom size is measured across the face of the bloom when open flat. It can vary a little according to age of the plant, etc.
Height - 34"
Height - This is an approximate height of the flower stems. The foliage is usually lower.
Foliage type - Dormant
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 - Diploid
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
Parentage - The varieties that were crossed and hybridized to create the variety.

Camden Gold Dollar
The flowers are very well formed for a mini and a rich unfading gold self. This is prolific bloomer on stocky scapes and one of the best of the smaller flowered varieties. Please note the photo was taken very close up so the flowers aren't as large as they appear in the picture. Received and Award of Merit from the American Hemerocallis Society in 1989.

Aten
This historic variety is relatively modest individually but effective en-masse being a generous performer with many deep gleaming gold diamond dusted flowers. An invincible grower; lightly fragrant.
£4.00
Nortons Orange
Light orange self with some fragrance. A very durable performer from a bygone era in Daylily breeding which still deserves appreciation. Clumps quickly.
£4.50
Atlanta Elegant Charm
Clear pure soft yellow with a pleated and crimped gold edge. Nicely fragrant with quite fulsome flowers - this is no 'ordinary' Daylily and fully deserves appreciation.
£6.00
Chicago Sunrise
Deep yellow with a darker yolk-yellow centre. Really shines in the border and has good rain repellent substance. A variety that has stood the test of time; still popular and a good landscaper. In the mixed border this Daylily associates well with a froth of greenish yellow Alchemilla mollis and Heuchera Lime Ricky as foreground companions. Behind any of the Heleniums would work well but 'Kanaria' is particularly good with it's slightly taller habit. Planting distance: This Hemerocallis should be planted 18" apart in clumps or allow 24" individually. Suitable for containers of around 6 litre capacity using a loam based compost for preference.
£4.00
Curls
A bygone variety that does not deserve obscurity bearing a generous display of soft apricot fragrant flowers which reflex slightly in the sunshine. As hardy and durable as one would expect and an excellent general purpose border variety with charming colour. Associates very well in the garden with Heuchera 'Marmalade' Crocosmia George Davidson, Echinacea 'Sundown' as well as blues such as Nepeta fassenii or Nepeta nervosa Kitkat. Plant 24" apart. For container growing a 5 litre capacity container is sufficient.
£4.50
Big Time Happy
One of the first if not THE - first of the larger flowered varieties to begin blooming and then goes on for a long time. The flowers are lemon yellow with a green throat and there is fragrance too. Opens well in all weathers; very much like a larger flowered 'Happy Returns' Suits 5 litre capacity containers. Plant 18" apart in the open. I have a hearty clump surrounded by a sea of blue coppery lkeafed Ajuga - it's simple but very effective.
