Explosion Of Substance is one of those daylilies that just gives its all. It is a stunning display every year and reblooms profusely here each year once established. A+ rust resistance during the last two years of my testing program. Thrips resistance is good. Fertile both ways, but pods can be difficult, some years easy, some years impossible, but its seedlings are often quite good, showing its excellent branching and nice performance.
Explosion Of Substance is a half sibling to Elizabethan Lace Collar through their pollen parent that is a sdlg. That seedling shows a very flat flower with extremely heavy petal substance and in many ways behaves in breeding just like the Substantial Evidence family. The pod parent, Curt Hanson's Kona Coast is a pleated type with heavy flower substance and I have seen some pleating in early seedlings from Explosion of Substance.
Explosion Of Substance is both an excellent flower for breeding and for the garden. Check out all the pictures below to see how glorious it looks in the garden.
