Sister Valerie*

Sister Valerie* (Kirchhoff 2012) Tet 36” EM Re Ex Sev 6”. Shakespeare writes, “Those do not love that do not show their love” and for David’s sister Valerie, this daylily is for you. It is one of David’s finest reds - wish fulfillment after 35 years of breeding award winning, red daylilies. The color is an intense orange-to- primary-red self with a lighter, chevron patterned, watermark halo glowing like an inner fire. Its tiny throat is yellow-to-green. The ruffled edges are looping, pleated and tiny, with a yellow wire edge on all segments. The scapes are magnificent with 4-6 branches (in KY!) and 33 or more buds. Very fertile.
