2026 INTROS
Due to health issues and a severe drought last summer, I am not in a position to offer new intros in the spring of 2026. Fortunately, we finally got a lot of rain in October so the plants should be in good shape, and I will be evaluating this spring regarding new intros later in the year.
In the meantime, if you are interested in earlier intros, please email me for availability at
Like many, we have had a wild, bitterly cold winter, but my plants are bred for hardiness, and we have also had a very good snow cover this year, so I am expecting a robust show of daylilies this spring.
Thank you for looking!

**********************************************************************************************************************************************************
ENKI - 36" tall, 6" bloom, 5 branches, 23 buds. Dormant. Tet. Mid. Fertile both ways. $45 DF
ENKI is a robust purple with strong, well-branched scapes. Fertile both ways and a good increaser. Out of Curt Hanson's Peoples Pleasure Park and Building the Colossus, both excellent performers. Very reliable mid-height purple with excellent genes for hybridizing.
**********************************************************************************************************************************************************
GILGAMESH - 50" tall, 7" bloom, 4 branches, 29 buds. Dormant. Diploid. Mid. Fertile both ways. $50 DF+
GILGAMESH is a bright, exuberant, tall and floriferous plant, bursting out all over with tightly quilled UF blooms. From Marguerite de Vergennes x Don Church's Tiger Whiskers. Two generations from H. Hakuunensis, providing for excellent hardiness, increase, branching and bud count. Good increaser and a nice showy daylily where some tall and fun color is needed.
**********************************************************************************************************************************************************
INANNA'S BLOUSE - 32" tall, 6" bloom, 4 branches, 29 buds. Dormant. Tet. Mid. Fertile both ways. $55 DF
INANNA'S BLOUSE is a bitone out of Curt Hanson's Kharma Police and Alone Again. As with some other daylilies in the Jerry Hyatt line, it can be somewhat variable from lighter tones to darker ones, depending on temperature and conditions. One outstanding feature, from its pollen parent Alone Again, is that it keeps its color all through the day - even on hot sunny days. See pics below, both taken after a blistering day.
**********************************************************************************************************************************************************
OFF HER MEDS - 38" tall, 8" bloom, 4 branches, 39 buds. Dormant. Diploid. Mid. Fertile both ways. $35 DF
OFF HER MEDS is a crazy girl out of Jim Murphy's As You Wish x the classic Lilly Dache. Wild looking flowers, often take different UF-style shapes. Scapes can be amazing, with sometimes 5 or 6 branches, with bud counts up to 40 and beyond. Occasionally petals have a translucent spot, so this is not so much a show plant, as a fun addition to the garden with a big show on great plants that increase readily. See scape shot below - that's one scape!
**********************************************************************************************************************************************************
SUPERPERP - 46" tall, 7" bloom, 3 branches, 20 buds. Dormant. Tet. Mid. Fertile both ways. $65 DF
SUPERPERP was outstanding from her first bloom She has quite a pedigree, including Astral Voyager, Wiggly Piggly, Frieda Allen Jarrell, Wild Smurf and Joan Derifield. Large, spatulate blooms always open wide and flat and she passes this trait along to all her kids. Excellent parent, combining well with purples, reds, lavenders and others, always throwing striking blooms.
**************************************************************************************************************************************************
VIOLET TOWN - 39" tall, 7.5" bloom, 3 branches, 25 buds. Dormant. Tet. Mid. Fertile both ways. $70 DF
VIOLET TOWN is a strong showy purple from two excellent parents: Curt Hanson's Building the Colossus and Judy Davisson's High Water Mark. Striking blooms have a blue/gray watermark on the petals, and a yellow watermark on the sepals. Strong, robust grower. Totally cold hardy. Stately in a clump - a nice showy addition to the garden with the large clearly colored blooms and a strong plant.
HENNY BIRD (Laffin 2022) 33" tall, 5.5" bloom, Mid, Tet, Dor, 5 branches, 34 buds
DF $50
HENNY BIRD is one of those daylilies that cheers me up every time I walk by - pretty and eager, it's an excellent performer, and the flowers always look great. Henny sports great branching and lots of blooms spread out over a long period of time. A cross between two Hanson intros - one tall and one short - HENNY came out in the middle - a nice 33 inches tall. Excellent plant quality - every scape has 5 branches - really good for Zone 4! - and with 34 buds, she provides a nice, long display of flowers. This daylily that never has a bad day! Not only that, but she's very fertile, setting a pod every single time. From Northern Kingfisher x Rainbow Mesa.
HENNY is named for an unusual member of our family - when all our laying hens died but one, she would have been too lonely and cold outdoors in the Maine winter, so I brought in a large dog crate, and she ended up living in the kitchen for the next two years. I think she might have thought she was a dog, as there are so many in the house. She got along with all of them, and was always a fun and cheerful presence to have in the house. She died, at age 5, last Christmas. We miss you, Henny Bird.
