*LOVE OF RUTH
(N. Ripley 2009) Tet. (seedling x seedling). Height 35", flower 5.75", Dormant ML, 3 way branching 17-20 buds, and instant rebloom in my garden. This is a very special flower and parent just like her namesake my mother. Named for my mother who gave me my faith, love for living and passion for sharing. My mother Ruth I. Ross Hicks was my teacher, friend, and life model. The flower I named for my mother had to be very special, recover well after dividing, displays unique color, great parent, and rock solid in northern gardens. "Love of Ruth" is this and more. Love of Ruth is a complicated flower with tatting of pearlized multi-colored edge, stippling in the throat, wonderfully appliqué large flower of excellent saturated colors. A fabulous parent for appliquéd throats and multicolored edges with metallic sparkles. The first daylily I have ever seen with this multi-colored metallic edge. Very hardy in my zone 4/5 garden. Easy pod and pollen parent. Highly recommend. SOLD OUT!
