JOLLY RED GIANT
(Stamile,P 1999)
Daylily TET 643-DD (Star of India x Long Stocking) 68” E Re. very slight fragrance. emo. Ev. 8” x 2 ¼” x 1 ½” . 6 way branching. 56 buds. Unusual Form - pinched and twisted crispate. I dislike writing in superlatives such as the most ruffled, the heaviest substance, etc. since it presumes the writer knows the entire world of daylilies. In growing daylilies for 20+ years including the species Altissima and the Challenger hybrids, I can say that I have never seen a daylily as tall as JOLLY RED GIANT. JOLLY RED GIANT towers over mere 5’ tall Altissima and Challenger hybrids and at 5’8” can be used in place of a small shrub or tree. This is truly a fun flower for those who want bragging rights for the “tallest”. Being evergreen it may not grow as tall in the North but here in the South the first scapes bloom at 68” and rebloom just shy of 6’. Very strong well branched erect scapes. Pod sterile but pollen fertile
