Limited

(BLACK CHERRY BEAUTY X MERLOT) X (DARK PRINCE X MERLOT)TET;40"scape;6"bloom;4-5 way branching;Reb;Dor;

I chose the name ALL THAT MATTERS because this daylily has all that truly matters in hybridizing daylilies. Gorgeous flowers which open well and hold up in inclement weather: tall, sturdy and well branched scapes with tons of buds (this one bud-builds); healthy plant habits which seldom show signs of any disease or weather damage, and it is easily used for hybridizing. This flower is a stunner in the garden. The tall scapes hold the majestic flowers high for viewing. The deep wine petals are veined in deep purple over the entire surface. Gold ruffled edges surround the petals and the gold to deep green chevron eyezone really sparks up the blooms. Slight pleating in throat area adds some drama. This daylily has been a cornerstone parent both pollen and pod for a few years now, and has proven to be valuable for producing deep colors in red, purple, and wine with exemplary plant habits in the seedlings . It throws better than itself, which is what you want in a parent. A beautiful landscape plant, this is one daylily you can't walk by without admiring it. ALL THAT MATTERS has truly all that matters.

The petals are centered by an expansive white to chartreuse eyezone on both petals and sepals with a deep green throat finishing off the blooms. For further enhancement,a thin white picotee edge on petals adds further excitement. Very fertile both ways, and has produced some lovely seedlings now under trial. Very healthy and hardy plants make this daylily valuable in the northern areas for both hybridizing and landscape use.

Buds avg. 15, Early midseason, reblooms Upon looking through some older photos, I realized that this daylily looked exactly the same in every photo, no matter the year, first or last bloom, or the type of camera used. It has been used here quite heavily to clean up petal colors in both blue lines and patterns. Grandparent of HARMONY IN BLUE, and continues to throw very lovely kids. EMBRACE THE PROMSISE has pale white blend petals which are centered with an intense blue-lavender eyezone and surrounded by a substantial matching picotee edge. The eyezone carries dark blue-lavender veining running into the intense green throat. The complicated genetics in this plant’s DNA make it an important parent. Years of careful selection and thought combined to produce such a daylily, allowing any hybridizer to embrace the promise of not only great plant habits and clear colors, but of finally experiencing a blue daylily. EMBRACE THE PROMISE makes a lovely garden plant, and is a grand addition to any hybridizer’s inventory of ‘blue’ eyezone genetics.

This seedlings was produced from seed purchased on the Lily Auction. I hesitated registering this one, but it is such a fantastic parent, I feel it would be negligent not to share its potential. The near white ruffled petals are centered with a patterned indigo eyezone which blends through several variations of blue into a pencil purple rim. The eyezone is speared by white midribs extending into the chartreuse to green throat. The sepals have lighter patterns on them which gives the bloom a slight bitone appearance. This is a special daylily for its immense breeding potential, beautiful blooms, and hardy plant habits. I have sold several seeds and seedlings on the LA which have this plant in their parentage under the seedling name BEWD-BB. Very limited number of plants available for spring delivery!

Transitory, contrasting shades of lavender, orchid, and faint apricot/peach colors flow within the pattern. The throat is yellow-to-green. The edge mimics the watermark eye, repeating the pattern in violet and purple, outlined in platinum tooth filigree. The form is narrow and flat. This has it all and does it all. Bring a chair when you visit this daylily. You will want to linger. Best of all, it is extremely fertile both ways. Very special. $45

Good opener into the low 60's (not great below that), no spotting, scapes fabulous in the GH so should be higher branching going south. Nice foliage. Magenta; icy lilac watermark; lilac plus ivory edge; green throat. This is such a lovely flower that when it first bloomed in the greenhouse I didn't believe it would be hardy in Minnesota but it is! (Note: the last 2 pictures are what it looks like in the GH to give you some hybridizing ideas). Not only is it a beautiful garden flower, but it is a FABULOUS PARENT FOR HARDY DAYLILIES WITH ROUND FORMS, GORGEOUS FACES, FANCY EDGES, CHALKY WATERMARKS, GOOD SCAPES AND BUDCOUNT, AND A VERY HIGH PERCENTAGE OF KEEPER FLOWERS. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED FOR ANY HYBRIDIZER WITH THESE GOALS. ANYONE should be able to get gorgeous daylilies out of Ruler of Nations (hint: cross it with other introductions of mine with chalky watermarks as well as those by Guy Pierce if you have them - e.g. Master and Bold Ruler). As I said with All Things to All Men when it was introduced, IF YOU DON'T GET BEAUTIFUL INTRODUCTION QUALITY SEEDLNGS FROM RULER OF NATIONS YOU SHOULD PROBABLY TAKE UP A DIFFERENT HOBBY. Easily fertile for me both ways.

I have grown this little guy for several years now and always marvel at its persistence and performance. The plants are extremely vigorous and hardy. Fans consistently produce two scapes per fan, and will rebloom immediately! The cute blooms are always sporting those tightly quilled sepals which make the flower much bigger than it looks. Blooms are light purple with heavily recurved petals covered with deep purple veins. Bright green throat blends into the pale lavender blue eyezone. The pale purple tightly quilled sepals make this little guy a bitone. Very fertile both ways. So, what you think of my baby?
