PRECIOUS CANDY
BLUE LAKE
Breeding goal: A blue/pink resists northern winters.
Expectations: 'Precious Candy' is from a cross of 'Rock Solid' and 'Zahadoom' - a cross that has given several registered seedlings. It will be interesting to see what happens when on of the most purplish of these seedlings is crossed with 'Blue Lake.'
Number of seeds: 15
Germinated: -
Survived winter: -
Runts discarded: -

daylily progeny
Notes: June 27. FFO. Nice intensity of color, good scape height, not reallly "blue." Not apparent improvement over parents grown in the South, but decent garden plant. The blooms are extraordinarily flat, and open bright and early.
