MAGNIFICENT BLUE PRINCE - SEIFERT 2022, Tet, 30", 5.75", M, Sev, 4 br, 23 bc.
This puts on a mid season show every year. Since it has a pretty blue eye, it reminded me of something else we have around here: our big blue boy. He's our gentle hero, keeping us safe from the mailman, Amazon drivers and a multitude of squirrels, not to mention a small yapping annoyance he's had to endure this year.
Fertile both ways.

Hybridizer's notes:
This is one of the parents which is redefining my blue-eyed tet program. It is the pod parent of the future TEXAS BLUE EYES squared seedlings, and a half-sib to last year's BLUE PLANET. The plant habit is the best I have seen in blue-eyed daylilies ,with beautifully spaced branching and high bud counts. Along with that clear cerulean blue eyezone that looks just like the picture, MERMAID'S LAIR makes a gorgeous clump! As a parent, this daylily passes on her clear blue eyezone, and the wonderful plant habits to her kids. I have yet to bloom a seedling from MERMAID'S LAIR which did not have a blue eye. A necessary hybridizer's dream to achieve that elusive blue!
