Coastal Yellow, Daylily

*Coastal Yellow

*COASTAL YELLOW (Stamile, P.) TET [(Green Spark x Tet Time Stopper) X Mint Octopus] 36” EE Ev Re CMO FR. 8”. 4-way branching. 28 buds.

 COASTAL YELLOW is a huge bloom with crispate, cascade and spatulate unusual form characteristics. The bloom is chartreuse yellow with a deep grass green throat. What makes this daylily special is its strong tendency to rebloom. A clump planted on the southwest side of the house bloomed for 12 months in California. Freezing weather destroyed the blooms and weather in the 30s meant the daylily blooms were trumpety and remained open for two or three days. Still it is amazing to see a daylily bloom from April to April. Stella D’Oro in New York only bloomed until December against the protection of the house.

Fertile both ways. Pod parent was a dormant so it will throw dormants when crossed to a dormant. With Tet Rose F. Kennedy and Tet Timestopper on one side and Tet Green Widow and Tet Desert Icicle on the other side it should be an interesting breeder.
