Fade to Light (Brown, Thad - 2019)
Tetraploid 31”, Mid Late Season, Semi-dormant, 6”, 3 way branching, 20-22 buds. Fertile both ways. Rebloom
(Great White x Roger Herr)
What makes this daylily so special is that it’s a ‘color changer’. The large 6” flowers sit neatly above straight upright scapes that are well branched. The magic starts out in the morning with blooms opening as a Peach blend with an orange to gold throat. As the day progresses and evening approaches the color fades magically to a soft glowing flesh color nearing white with an orange throat and edge. The color changing blooms of FADE TO LIGHT have an iridescence about them that make them ‘glow’ in the evening light. Plants are modest increasers and hardy in Zone 6.
