When
I first saw PISTACHIO EYES I knew I
could never go back to using Tetra Connie Burton pollen because PISTACHIO EYES was such an improvement.
From that day on Tetra Connie Burton became only a pod parent.
PISTACHIO EYES is one of the
most beautifully colored daylilies in the garden. Yet, it is a very difficult color
to describe. The image shows early bloom where it is a hot coral blue rose pink
with a deep pistachio green throat. Later blooms are more blue pink with a deep
green throat.
Like
most of the Tetra Connie Burton seedlings the flower is very ruffled and wide
petaled and wide sepaled. Unlike many Tetra Connie Burton seedlings, the foliage is not upright and coarse, but
rather finer and more arching like its pod parent INIMITABLE.
