Wild Chicken

Wild Chicken

(Gossard, James) 2011 introduction

(Joseph's Coat x Elfin Etching x Spirited Style x Siloam Fine Art )

Diploid 37" Mid season Dormant emo fr 6" 3-4 way branching 18-22 buds. Fertile both ways. Rebloomer

Wild Chicken is a full sib to PATTERN MAKER, last years introduction. Both of which stamps the patterns on its kids. It merges Salter's and Henry's best pattern genetics together. What sets it apart from all the rest of the pattern flowers, is that it is hard dormant, but should still grow well in the south. I believe this to be true since it seems to do fine in the green house setting. It has been extremely difficult utilizing Salter genetics, which I find so valuable in hybridizing for patterns to create northern hardy patterned daylilies. Flowers are cream white with a very green throat. The eye zone , which is clearly showing on both petals and sepals are composed of many shades of purples, violets and blues. I named it Wild Chicken because of the Chicken Claw pattern that radiates from the eye zone. Because of the triangular form, Wild Chicken can be used in round and spider hybridizing. Notice also that Wild Chicken is taller than any of its parents and also taller than its sib, Pattern Maker. If you are hybridizing for dormant patterns, do not miss out on this one. A great flower to cross with the patterned Carpenter introductions, which are not dormant or as tall. Sold Out.......$200
