Batgirl

(Gossard, James) 2014 introduction Seedling # E3

(Patrick Starfish) x (Emerald Starburst)

Diploid 38" Early Mid season Dormant, Nocturnal fr 9" 3-4 way branching 16-22 buds. Fertile both ways. Rebloomer.

Flowers of Batgirl are maroon purple with a very large green throat. For many years I disliked nocturnal daylilies because they start opening the night before and lose color by noon and close up by late afternoon. Living in the north we have cold nights, 50 degrees F sometimes. As a result flowers open poorly, the pattern daylilies seem to be the worst. I wanted a daylily that was perfect in the mornings after a cold night but yet take the high heat and still look good at 8 PM. Everyone said could not be done. However with this new line from Patrick Starfish and Emerald Starburst I got what I was looking for. Batgirl,Chasing Your Dreams, Money Maker and Stargirl are the first of many future generations which corrects for this problem in the north. Soon we will have broken patterns around the edges as a result of the eye zone becoming the edge, which can be the patterned part of the daylily. Pattern Breaker crossed to Batgirl and Money Maker are a good starting point. Because the substance and color saturation is so good in Batgirl,Chasing Your Dreams, Money Maker and Stargirl, it takes a very good broken pattern breeder to give you want you want. Batgirl and Money Maker are great to take to narrow flowers and Stargirl and Chasing Your Dreams to the round ones. I have used both ways and gotten what I was looking for. A super good parent for hybridizing large patterned daylilies. Batgirl is super pod fertile. Pollen is great to, but you can set so many pods why even use the pollen. LoL.......$100 sfan
