*PATRICIA LYNN
(N. Ripley 2009) Tet. (seedling x seedling). Height 27", flower 5.5", 4 way branching, 15-20 buds, dormant, EM. This charming flower has all the distinguishing characteristics I look for in a daylily. Rock solid hardiness, opens early, doesn't fade in hot sun, tons of blooms, instant rebloom when established, pod and pollen fertile and a joy to the beholder. Diamond dusted Patricia Lynn sports a wonderful navy blue picotee edge laced with fine filigree sliver metallic thread. Patricia Lynn has been a great parent working in my favorite line of blue eyes and edges. This flower carries the name of a wonderful friend and mother of Charles Shorb. Charles was one of my extraordinary students when I worked at Iowa State University. Our precious Patrica Lynn passed away from cancer but her spirit lives on in her family. Highly recommended for the hybridizer and gardener. Double fan, $25.00.
