What pigments come together to create the rainbow of gorgeous daylily flower colors?

My daylily breeding program, established in 2011, is multi-faceted and complex, but it is all aimed toward a singular set of goals, which are short term in nature, and ideals, which are long term in nature. In this video we take a deep dive into the origin and focus of my daylily program. I outline the goals and ideals, show you the plants I used to establish my program, and speak a bit about where I am now and where things are headed within my program going into the future.

Announcing 2025 Summer/Fall Sale at Sun Dragon Daylilies

 

I am happy to announce a special sale for late summer/fall 2025 shipping. I have so many new special seedlings coming along that I need to make space. These sale plants are all excellent cultivars, but the success of my breeding program means I have to take a hit and clear out some space. My loss is your gain. To look over the sale listing go to the SUMMER/FALL 2025 SUN DRAGON DAYLILIES SALE PAGE.
