Hemerocallis 'Nanuq' - Daylily from Quackin Grass Nursery
Hemerocallis 'Nanuq'
Daylily
Plant Type:
DAYLILY (HEMEROCALLIS)Hemerocallis 'Nanuq' – this hybrid ('Joan Senior' x 'Elizabeth Yancey') is arguably the best white daylily to date even though 'Joan Senior' gets all the attention. Near-white self with a yellow green heart, the flowers have better staying power, exhibit very good substance and the foliage is nicer. On bright, sunny days the flowers appear to be even whiter yet still maintain textural quality. 'Nanuq' is a Jinkerson hybrid made in 1986. Shirley Davis, now sadly deceased, was our local, highly respected daylily aficionado; she turned our attention to this hybrid. We offer it in her memory. If you want a near-white daylily 'Nanuq' this may be the plant you want. Possible rebloom later in the season... probably more likely down south. May arrive bare root or potted.

Genus Overview: Hemerocallis
Common Name: Daylily
The well-known daylily. We have become increasingly taken with the late and very late bloomers. Those glorious daylily trumpets add such rich and contrasting texture to mops and strands of goldenrods, Joe-pye weeds and late season daisy flowers that occur in abundance at this time; they are splendid with the broad flattened domes of ironweeds, the spikes of Persicaria amplexicaulis ‘Firetail’ plus the seeds and berries that so opulently populate the landscape in the late season. We are offering a handful of mid-season bloomers. Of course, most of the breeding has centered about these and for this reason many of these cultivars are fancier. But we find there is elegance in the simpler flower form and gentler colors, often soft pastels, in the later selections. Most of the late bloomers but not all have originated with Olallie Daylily Gardens in South Newfane, VT. All cultivars are hardy in USDA zones 3 to 9 unless otherwise marked. All of the following are sent as bareroot divisions of our plants.
