Emma's Song daylily
Emma's Song
(Schaben – Rice 02)
[(Something Wonderful x Angel’s Smile) x Ocean Rain] 5 ½" 26" dor M
In the garden this elegantly, ruffled beauty gives the illusion of something delicate like a porcelain sculpture but make no mistake Emma’s Song is tough and northern hardy. The lemon watermark contributed by grandparent Angel’s Smile makes the cream white flower appear whiter and more intense than it really is. Emma’s Song’s most striking feature is the lavender/pink edging that encircles both petals and sepals. Named to honor my mother this is a very special daylily. Emma’s song makes rather small plants but it is incredibly vigorous and clumps quickly. Fertile both ways and a powerful parent.
