OH WHAT A BEAUTY!!! Opens great for us even in bad and cold weather. Most of the times, it's slightly darker than compared with Emmerich's pix. Nothing wrong with that!
Magenta, icy lilac watermark, lilac plus ivory edge. From Emmerich: "Good opener into the low 60's (not great below that), no spotting, scapes fabulous in the GH so should be higher branching going South. Nice foliage. Magenta; icy lilac watermark; lilac plus ivory edge; green throat. This is such a lovely flower that when it first bloomed in the greenhouse I didn't believe it would be hardy in Minnesota but it is! FABULOUS PARENT FOR HARDY DAYLILIES WITH ROUND FORMS, GORGEOUS FACES, FANCY EDGES, CHALKY WATERMARKS, GOOD SCAPES AND BUDCOUNT, AND A VERY HIGH PERCENTAGE OF KEEPER FLOWERS. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED FOR ANY HYBRIDIZER WITH THESE GOALS. ANYONE should be able to get gorgeous daylilies out of Ruler of Nations (hint: cross it with other introductions of mine with chalky watermarks as well as those by Guy Pierce if you have them - e.g. Master and Bold Ruler). As I said with All Things to All Men when it was introduced, IF YOU DON'T GET BEAUTIFUL INTRODUCTION QUALITY SEEDLNGS FROM RULER OF NATIONS YOU SHOULD PROBABLY TAKE UP A DIFFERENT HOBBY. Easily fertile for me both ways." Pix from hybridizer.
