WELCOME TO FROSTLINE DAYLILIES
We have the following new introductions for your
consideration this year:
|

'ACROSS THE
GARDEN PATH’
|
‘ACROSS
THE GARDEN PATH’
(Poinsiana Regal x Seedling)
(Dormant
tet, 30”, 6.5-7” bloom, 3 way branching,
15 buds;
mid through late season, consistent bud builder, making a
long bloom season)
Across
The Garden Path
can best be called a coral-orange with a soft red eye and a chartreuse
throat. Streaks of red flare
out on the petal segments from the center eye. Weather dependent, the color
expression can vary from coral-red to deep orange.
We
had one large clump growing on the end of a row by a pathway and wanting to increase the
stock of this one, we lined out a number of fans at the far end of a
planting. Due to the color and
size we (and garden visitors) were drawn to that more distant planting
site.
Initial
blooms are in the range of 7” while later season bloom is more around
6.5”. One of the matters
that we have appreciated about A.T.G.P. (other than the bold color
expression) is the fact that she is a consistent bud builder which makes
for a longer bloom season.
We
have grown this bold daylily for a number of
seasons, using it with some hybridizing projects and just enjoying its
presence. With a number of requests from garden visitors we have
decided that it was time for introduction. With a very strong stock of plants,
we offer this one at a low introduction price.
Price: $35.00 (NET—2-fan plants)

'All’s
Well That Ends Well’
|
‘ALL’S WELL THAT ENDS
WELL’
(Calligraphy
x Seedling)
(Dormant
tet, 34”, 7” bloom, 3 way branching,
18 buds; mid
through very late season, consistent bud builder)
All’s
Well That Ends Well
can best be called an unusual form type with its extra
large, flaring starfish like blooms. Blooms readily reach 7”
across, making a statement from a distance.
Color
expression can best be called a pink toned lavender with chartreuse throat
and deep green heart. Depending
on weather the expression can range from pink to a sandy hued lavender.
We
appreciate the occasional bud builder that we have worked with, and this is
one of these. AWTEW is a
consistent bud builder which stretches the bloom season to the point that
this is one of the latest of our introductions.
Color
holds well even on very hot days and blooms open well on cooler days as
well. A sturdy grower that
makes a commanding clump, especially since the bloom is held up on taller scapes
So,
if you are looking for an unusual form daylily that draws attention and has
a long bloom season, you will not be disappointed with All’s Well
That Ends Well.

'Envious
Heart'
|
‘Envious Heart’
(Midnight
Merlot x Seedling)
(Dormant
tet, 32”, 5.5” bloom, 3 way
branching, 16-18 buds; mid through late
season)
While
we have never done much work to produce “eyed” kids in the
hybridizing process, those that show up have often been eye catchers. Such is the case with Envious
Heart. We never expected this result when using Midnight Merlot as a pod, but looking back at the pollen parent from the
Tompkins’ lines with Poinsiana Regal, we
see where this could occur both with color and bloom style.
The
base color could likely be termed a soft cherry red hue with a much
deeper red eye imposed.
Added to the color scheme is an intense green heart. Petals are outlined with the same
deep red as the eye of EH. Blooms
tend to be flaring, opening readily.
Color holds well here in summer’s heat.
A
good grower, clumps readily produce a strong flush of bloomscapes
each summer. For the
hybridizer, EH produces eyed kids in a wide range of colors.

'In My
Father’s House'
|
‘IN MY FATHER’S
HOUSE’
(As
You Like It x All Things To All Men)
(Dormant
tet, 30”, 6” bloom, 3 way branching,
20 buds; mid
through late season)
When it
comes to choosing a name for In My Father’s House, we were
saving a special name for a daylily we are very pleased with. As the picture here indicates,
this is an elegant daylily with overall style and grace.
Color
expression can be described as a lavender-mulberry blend with a much
lighter creamy lavender throat and a chartreuse heart. The petals are ruffled/scalloped
and outlined in cream edging.
Bloom segments recurve nicely, adding to the overall
“style” of this daylily.
During periods of higher temperatures, more of the mulberry color
will often express itself. In
cooler temps the lavender tones dominate.
We
appreciate the fact that IMFH has a more staggered bloom, giving a longer
bloom season. Color holds well
here in summer heat. A strong
grower and rock hardy here.

'Poetic Line'
|
‘Poetic Line’
(Heartbeat
Of Heaven x Seedling)
(Dormant
tet, 36”, 7” bloom, 4 way branching,
18 buds;
mid through late season, occasional REBLOOMER)
The
color of this large, taller daylily can be described as a lavender rose
with a lighter lavender throat and a green heart. The bloom is heavily ruffled with
the petals outlined in a creamy lavender. Blooms tend to have a rather
vertical presentation. Blooms
are held well above the foliage, giving a good view even from a distance.
Poetic
Line has been
a premier parent her for us, producing kids with good height, strong
branching, high bud count and commanding bloom especially in tones of
lavender and rose.
As a
mid to late season bloomer, she has an extended show period. Each season we find some
rebloom. For the hybridizer,
seed set is generous with nearly every bloom setting pods.
We
are very pleased with PL and have nice plants available.

'Secret Gift'
|
‘Secret Gift’
(Sweet
Clover Honey x Another Man’s Praise)
(Dormant-Se
tet, 38”, 6.” bloom, 4 way branching,
22 buds; mid
through late season, occasional REBLOOMER)
We
have long appreciated pink daylilies, but have
never really pursued them for some reason. The pink genes involved in Secret
Gift popped out through one of Karol Emmerich’s introductions,
Pathway Of Peace. From its initial bloom SG has held
our interest.
The base
color can be described as an appealing clean pink with rose overtones. A light lavender pink throat yields
to chartreuse and then to a strong green heart. The green and the pink colors do
especially well together. The heavily ruffled blooms are outlined
in creamy white.
Blooms
are very round, well balanced and open readily with a recurved, very round ball like
form.
The
problem with many pinks that we have seen is that they tend to be on the
shorter order, so the above average height of Secret Gift is
appreciated. You will never
have to stoop to see the bloom.
Plant her where you need something with height that shows up across
the garden.
This
daylily has been appreciated by garden visitors and we finally have a
decent stock of plants to offer.

Last Year’s Introductions
|

'All Hands On Deck'
|
‘All Hands On
Deck’
(Rocks
Cry Out x Heman)
(Dormant
tet, 30”, 6.5” bloom, 4 way
branching, 18-20 buds; mid through late
season, occasional REBLOOMER)
If you
like a daylily that really demands attention from across the garden, may we
suggest our introduction of All Hands On
Deck? Here there are several
clumps at the far end of one of the growing areas, but visitors always find
her when she is in bloom as she demands attention.
The
picture tells the story. A.H.O.D. is a red adobe bitone
of flaring form and is
rampant
with gold sawtooth edgings, tendrils, knobs and
folds. The sepals exhibit a lighter
color tone than the petals and are lined with crimping and tendrils. The
centers of the blooms are the same gold as the wide edgings, and then lead
to a chartreuse tone in the depth of the heart.
A.H.O.D.
blooms in staggered form, affecting a long bloom season. Colors hold well on hot days and
blooms always open readily.
So,
if you are looking for an unusual form daylily that absolutely demands
attention, you will not be disappointed with All Hands On Deck.

'As You Like
It'
|
‘As You Like It’
(Moon
Over Narnia x Heartbeat Of Heaven)
(Semi-evergreen
tet, 28” 6.5” bloom, 4 way branching, 20 buds, mid through late season, REBLOOMER)
Both the
pod and pollen parents of As You Like It have proven themselves to
produce some excellent ‘kids’ here. In the case of As You Like It the
best genetics of both parents came together in choice form.
As
the picture aptly portrays, this daylily in simplest terms can be called a
very clean lavender toned pink.
Adding to this soft color is the matter of a large cloverleaf
chartreuse toned yellow throat and a deep seated
chartreuse heart. The petals
sport borders replete with relaxed ruffling and lots of pleats and scallops
of light creamy yellow.
The
overall effect of the bloom is both relaxed and alluring with a somewhat
recurving form. Blooms open
readily on cooler mornings and are resistant to spotting and thrip damage
as it grows here.
As
You Like It ultimately forms a large clump with lush, deep green foliage
which looks nice through the season, making a good contrast with the soft
toned blooms.
Bloom
season is prolonged due to a staggered opening and often with rebloom. Here
a wet spring never fails to produce some nice rebloom. The same is accomplished with giving
extra water early in the season.
We
highly recommend As You Like It as a parent for hybridizers as well as a
choice garden plant.

'Crossing My
Fingers'
|
‘Crossing My Fingers’
(Cloud
Of Witnesses x Fear Not)
(Dormant
tet, 28”, 5” bloom, 4 way branching, 20 buds; mid season)
The
cross of these two Emmerich daylilies proved very fruitful with our
introduction of Crossing My Fingers. Whether you wish to call her a bi tone
or a bi color, this daylily has been pleasing in
its expression and growth for the last several seasons. Like the pollen parent (Fear Not),
C.M.F. is a total dormant and is absolutely rock
hardy.
The
petal color is that of a pink with the slightest lavender tones, whereas
the sepals have a very light milky pink expression, forming a good deal of
color contrast. The blooms have
a chartreuse center leading to a bitter green heart.
Petals
are nicely ruffled; substance is heavy; colors are sunfast. Overall form is somewhat triangular
with a very finished appearance.
S.M.F.
is a strong grower and a heavy bloomer. As a parent for hybridizing, she
strongly produces dormant kids even when crossed with evergreen types. A great garden plant that we enjoy.

'Dare To Be
Different'
|
‘Dare To Be Different’
(from seedlings of Tompkins’ lines)
(Dormant
tet, 28”, 4.5” bloom, 3 way branching, 15 buds; mid through late season)
Dare
To Be Different is assuredly that in regard to its
color expression. Admittedly,
it may not be for everyone, but many garden visitors have commented
positively on this one. One of
these visitors said D.T.B.D. was his idea of a daylily dipped in root
beer. Accordingly, we thought
about registering her with the word rootbeer in
the title. Unfortunately
other hybridizers had the same idea, so we settled on the matter of Dare To
Be Different, thinking that this fit the situation aptly.
Your
idea on the base color is likely as good as ours, but a friend with good
color taste suggested using something with the term
“mauve”. That seems
to work well, so we supplied one more expressive word to it: Mulberry mauve. Blooms tend to have an outward
facing tendency, somewhat trumpet like. She sports a deep merlot eye,
culminating in an apple green heart.
Sepals often have deep lavender streaking and recurve nicely.
So,
if you dare to be different, this daylily may be for you. We have no other such color in the
many hundreds of cultivars and thousands of seedlings we grow.
A
strong grower and rock hardy with a prolonged bloom season.

'Poet
Laureate'
|
‘Poet Laureate’
(Timeless
Truth x Heartbeat Of Heaven)
(Dormant
tet, 28”, 5.5” bloom, 3-4 way branching, 15-18 buds; mid
season REBLOOMER)
Regarding
daylilies, there is something very pleasing about a very round bloom with
lots of clean color expression.
That is the case with our introduction of POET LAUREATE. As the picture indicates, the form
is very round with somewhat recurving, very wide petals. The base color is best called a
purple lavender with some grape tones.
Next comes a wide watermark of lavender blue, and then a chartreuse
throat that centers with a bitter green heart. Stemming from its parentage of
Timeless Truth comes a double border around the petals: light lavender and
then an outer rim of white.
Additionally, and a matter we like, is the deep veining on the
petals. Lots of complexity that
blends to well together on this daylily!
Poet
Laureate has proven to be a very strong grower for us and extremely hardy.
She sends up a strong flush on bloom each season. Especially on younger clumps, P.L.
tends to be a strong rebloomer.
This does much to extend the bloom season.
If
you are looking for a strikingly beautiful daylily that performs well on
our zone 4 farm, we can heartily recommend POET LAUREATE. Additionally, POET LAUREATE has
proven to be an excellent parent for us.

'Twilight
Shadows'
|
‘Twilight Shadows’
(Crossing
Over Jordan x Under His Wings)
(Dormant
tet, 30”, 6.5” bloom, 4 way
branching, 16-18 buds; mid season)
From
its maiden bloom onward we have enjoyed the deep
color saturation of Twilight Shadows, which is expressed in very clean,
pure tones. We have looked
forward to its bloom each season and have used it a good deal in
hybridizing projects with good success.
The base
color can best be described as a deep red toned burgundy. The next layer is a watermarked
center of washed red; then a chartreuse center ending with an apple green
heart. The broad, ruffled
petals are outlined in a narrow band of the same color as the watermark
center. Overall
it is the sort of bloom that attracts visitors with its great depth of
color and a striking watermark.
A
strong grower, Twilight Shadows quickly established a large clump. It overwinters readily here.
