MAGIC LAKE gets its name from the fact that I first assumed it was a cross
of MAGIC AMETHYST and LAKE EFFECT, the two sibs. To my surprise,
it turned out to be a cross of my MAGIC AMETHYST and Kelly Mitchell’s wonderful
MILDRED MITCHELL
This lavender blend begins the season as a quite
ordinary lavender with a gold edge. As the season warms the edge
becomes something other-worldly as huge projections, tentacles, knobs and
braids in deep rich gold outdo themselves to enhance the beauty of the
bloom. Picture perfect scapes with beautiful branching, high bud
count and wonderful plant balance, all part of the MAGIC LAKE experience.
Truly a great daylily, it has yet to prove itself as a breeder. However,
it has given a few green-edged lavenders and purples that make it very
exciting to use. Fertile both ways………$200.00
