SINGLE FAN AT THIS TIME. From Pierce: "For most of my adult life I have been telling people that as a daylily hybridizer I breed for bigger and better and am ultimately looking for a flower that “Genetically jumps the fence”. Well that day has arrived in SWAN SONG. I remember walking the seedling fields one morning and there she was… One white bloom in amongst a long cross of a lavender and a rose/pink flowers. As I got closer I could see how different she looked. No way was this just a white seed that had been mixed up. Here was a super heavy substance white with a 1% pink base, bright sparkles and green everywhere. Over half the throat, and into the ruffled petals as well. That was 4 years ago and I still just stare, and use her heavily. GUY'S SWAN SONG will set almost every flower, and she throws BETTER / BIGGER and TALLER! I have a future big white & green where the scape comes up to my chest. Every year I load her up with pods starting in April, May, then into July. That takes a lot of energy. I Harvest the pods, break her up and line her out in the full fun. We never use Banrot etc. and have not lost a plant. I say to you quite proudly; GUY'S SWAN SONG is priceless, for many, many reasons. Whites covered in green for me have become a whole new Program/Passion. And so as the contradiction goes - You're welcome." Semi-evergreen/ Dormant. Pix from hybridizer.
