Hybridizers notes: Tet,(seedling X seedling), evergreen. MRe. fr. emo.
The color of FLORIDA'S GARDEN LIGHT comes as close to chartreuse as I've seen on any daylily, resembling that of frosty lemon-lime sherbet, void of any cream or ivory tones. This beautiful 5½" flower truly brightens the garden! FLORIDA'S GARDEN LIGHT is a vigorous plant producing branched 28" scapes bearing 30 to 32 buds.
Easily fertile both ways.
