  • Hemerocallis ‘Beware of Attack Gardener’ Bob’s daylily Z 4-10

    Burgundy petals with golden centers

    Buy

    OUT OF STOCK

    Tetraploid daylily with burgundy petals with golden centers.  Stripes start golden at center and turn almost white by the point of the petal.  Blooms in July.

    Robert Koehne (April 1971-September 2014) Bob was a good personal friend and very enthusiastic gardener – perennially cheerful.  He loved his wife and two children and daylily breeding.  These daylilies are his “children” too.  He bred them, named them and registered them.  He died of colon cancer too soon – before he could grow grey with Darby or see his kids or his daylilies grow up.  We are growing on his daylilies.  This year we have only a few to sell but in time these will multiply, hopefully like rabbits. The proceeds go to his family.
