Pierce G. 5275-A (Supreme Team x Seedling) EV, EM,
RE, 28” high, 6.75” flower, 5-way branching, 25 buds, Fragrant.
Bi-Tone. Teeth. Teeth on Sepals.
As a daylily hybridizer, when I want to do something, like teeth – I go
All-Out! Some breeders will do a cross with one or two
pods. Or possibly a few more, I cross on the 3rd set of rebloom
scapes – By then I’m toast! FYI, if you do not grow Supreme Team,
you are missing out on one of the best daylilies out there.
Anyway, back 5 years ago, I set hundreds of pods with teeth and from
these long seedling crosses came a few Fence Jumpers, And… Strong
Growers! Since this picture was taken in full sun it looks
reddish, whereas PRICKLY PLUMS is actually more mixed purples.
Give her a good look, and like me you will be hooked too. Extra
Wide overlapping petals, Teeth everywhere, all in multiple
colors. AND… a nice green throat. An easy parent both ways,
and… with my arching foliage. Did you see the ruffled Double
Edging? Wait until you see the kids! Limited. DF
