| ARTISAN'S TOUCH
DIP- VERNON CARPENTER X LAVENDER BLUE BABY- J. Carpenter-
(20'-MRe-5.75"-Dor.)- This cultivar marks a milestone in the advancement of
edged diploids. It was disappointing only from the aspect of having sterile
pollen. The fact that it was pod fertile gave me hope as well as a reason
for its release besides its great beauty and finesse in the world of edged
daylilies. There is a distinctive beauty to the quality in form and
appearance of this picotee that gives it a charm all its own. ARTISAN'S
TOUCH is a very dormant cultivar and yet a vigorous grower with rapid
increase which should make it ideal for northern gardens. The lovely
cream-peach color flowers are accented with lavender eyes and edges. Scapes
have two way lateral branching and 25 buds. This cultivar is one of the
first that made it so apparent that LAVENDER BLUE BABY had great power in
producing edged diploids. A picotee for the diploid lover! $75.00
