Out of thousands of choices this was my favourite cultivar of 2022

Named after my lovely departed Sassy and her best bud Nessie who is such a joy. As they were such a pair, we loved to jointly call them 'Sasseness'.

Magenta purple with a very dark smouldering eyezone and green to yellow throat. This beautiful daylily was selected from hundreds of seedlings. A great bloom and an awesome garden plant!

Diploid (Dyason 2022). Scape height 36 inches (91cm). Bloom diameter 7.5 inches (19cm). Mid-late bloom season with rebloom, often multiple times. Unusual Form Crispate. Semi-evergreen winter foliage. We have seen up to 40 buds, 5 way branching and 3 reblooms.
