MARMALADE SKIES X WORLD’S COLLIDE
Although I’ll admit I have a fetish for huge robust plants, I’m not quite sure why everyone else is drawn to this burly, rather coarse affair. Selected for it’s amazing plant and vigor, ATLAS SHRUGGED is primarily a hybridizer’s tool for those frustrated with temperamental and wimpy daylilies. Neither refined or fancy, these bold 6" flowers are wide and consistently open flat. The neutral color is a pastel fawn blush and is punctuated by a large sparkling marigold watermark. Brawny stalwart scapes display three and four-way lateral branching with vigorous proliferations at each juncture. This Herculean selection is extremely fertile both ways, setting big fat pods!
