HYBRIDIZER GAYLE STORY'S NOTES:
BLACK AMETHYST 4" bloom, 21" scape, Mla, Sev, fragrant: This daylily is hard to describe as the coloring never seems to be quite right in the photos. The base color is a dark red-purple, with lighter veining of pink giving the appearance of light shining through it. It reminds me of black amethyst glassware when held up to the light, hence the name. Throat is a dark green, further enhancing the color of the blooms. The clump is made even more attractive by the very black buds of the unopened blooms. This daylily is a very fertile breeder, tending to be a color clarifier. Good for the front of the border for something different and eye-catching. Great parent for unusual colors, tends to be a color clarifier.

Flowers of Black Wolf are burgundy black with a multi-colored triple edge and dual colored white and gold teeth, capped off with a green throat. This is my best toothy introduction of 2017, and one that makes people stop and stare in the garden. It brings a dark color rarely seen in a toothy flower with a hard dormant line that also grows well in the south. If you pick just one flower this year- it should be this one. Grows well across zones- tested in Wisconsin, Indiana, Ohio, Virginia, Alabama and Florida. Easily pod and pollen-fertile, it has been a great parent, passing on its stunning looks and saturated color on to its kids.
