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.

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.
