Bloom size - 7.5”

Height - 28”
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.

Heavenly Angel Ice Daylily (Hemerocallis)
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 & Spider Collection - Daylilies (Hemerocallises)
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 Daylily (Hemerocallis)
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!
£5.50
Roger Grounds Daylily (Hemerocallis)
Always much shorter than the registered height in this country, a good burgundy purple spider with widespread cool green throat and excellent colour saturation. Has some fragrance and very nicely proportioned.
£8.00
Shanghai Beauty Daylily (Hemerocallis)
A spider in the unusual cascade form. I love the rustic colours and clean lines of this taller airborne Daylily in red brushed with gold. Very hardy.
£8.00
Brer Rabbits Baby
Extraordinarily graceful black red self with a very green throat, petals twirl and spin as if in animated motion. Definitely one for spider type aficionado’s. Great branching too.
£9.50
Curly Cinnamon Windmill Daylily (Hemerocallis)
One of the most popular "spiders" the flowers appear as if suspended in motion. The classic twirling curling form and very narrow petals lend this one a very distinct appeal. Can re-bloom. Great companion planted with grasses; always sought after.
