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 -
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.

Heavenly Angel Ice
The sheer display this unusual form variety gives can be simply breathtaking, a result of incredible 5 way branching of the flower scapes together with an average of some 25 buds per stem on established plants, opening over time to give a measured long-season bloom. The somewhat orchid-like outline and cool greeny cream colouring is beguiling, set off by the crispate outline of the flowers. Unusual and seldom seen variety.

Exotic and Spider collection
Those who dare to be different adore the varieties in this class. With their distinctive linear form and airy appearance - often combining deceptively enormous flower width - exotic and spider-dorm Daylilies associate very well in a mixed border too as well as being ideal specimen plants with a character all their own. Here are 6 of my best in varying shades, all named of course.

Nile Crane
Especially noted for it’s fragrance and very clear orchid-lavender colouring. A true beauty which remains on many most-loved lists and a good border performer. Should be a part of every collection!
