Butterscotch with lavender and charcoal etched and patterned eye, lighter midribs, yellow throat and ruffled edges. This cultivar started blooming June 6, and is still in bloom on rebloom scapes on August 3. Most cultivars do not rebloom here. Out of two very hardy plants. Should make a good show flower. Open early, and sunfast to 95 here. Very fertile both ways. Gorgeous blue green foliage.

This huge grey-lavender with feathered purple eye has a lemon throat. Grey on cold mornings, more lavender on warm days. Fertile both ways, out of DEVILS ADVOCATE X GREY WITCH. Excellent grower. Extra large 8" blooms, two branches with 18 buds.

Reed, 2007 - 48" M 7" dor. Dip. Elegant dark black red, well branched

Tall, dark, and well-branched, this cultivar out of Chief Black Hand and Planet Max carries on their grand tradition. The blooms are large and dark wine-red toward black. The scapes are erect and nicely branched, with a good bud count. It won best seedling in the NCDC show in 2006 (Washington DC area). The blooms are elegant and narrow, with gentle ruffling. Yellow to green throat, sunproof, fertile.

Murphy, '05 - 34" M 6" dor.dip. Red with yellow midribs and wide cream edge. Strong, straight scapes and long bloom.

Red with a wide, creamy, ruffled edge, yellow to cream midrib, and yellow throat. This flower is a step forward in color patterns for spidery daylilies. The creamy edge is very wide, and the pattern is very unusual. The foliage is good, the increase is very good, and it blooms well in drought or rainy weather. A very photogenic flower, and a great grower in poor conditions. It is a good parent, fertile both ways.

Reed, 2005 - 42" M 7" dor.dip. Pale gold with dark wine-red eye, yellow throat

Named after my favorite daughter, the softball player, this daylily has a black eye! The bloom is very ruffled and has a narrow, exotic form. The dark wine-red/black eye is in high contrast to the pale gold/parchment background color. There is the slight beginning of a picotee edge in the dark color. This daylily presents many different faces, but it is always very showy in the garden. Fertile both ways and often reblooms.

Tall, huge, stunning yellow with large jagged purple eye, green throat, blue-green foliage. I tagged this seedling on its’ first bloom. It has proven its’ worth in 4 seedling seasons. It can have taller scapes with more branching in exceptional conditions. All cultivars have qualities and considerations. This one checks most every box, except is not pod fertile. The scapes are thick and strong, but a few have leaned over in thunderstorms when they have several 8 inch blooms, but it is not the dreaded flopper... Going to flower shows? Bring this one. Wide and broad branching with well spaced flowers.

(Reed, 2010) 40" M 4" dormant diploid

Cute as a chipmunk, this little brown spidery bloom has a black stripe (eye) and green throat. It is tall, well-branched, and has lots of bloom. Not quite a miniature or a true spider, it has potential in that direction. It is out of REUTHERS BROWN SPIDER x BROWN WITCH, which gives it a heritage of vigor and pod fertility.
Great grower and does well in poor conditions.
