A milestone in daylily history…
On February 14, 2024 the number of daylily registrations reached the highly anticipated 100,000 with the registration of 'Alpenglow Magic'.
Stretching across the petals like shadows on a mountain bathed in alpenglow are the deep grooves and embossed rays of relief. Leaving behind the polychrome melon and yellow typically seen in the relief forms, ALPENGLOW MAGIC is a clean vibrant pink flower softly ruffled and edged in white. Bright yellow stretches out from a small olive green throat blending into the pink ridges of relief. A northern bred, hardy sev, the 42" scapes have wide 4 way branching with 18 - 21 buds.
