Hemerocallis 'Primal Scream'
Daylily - Spider Type
Plant Type:
DAYLILY (HEMEROCALLIS)Hemerocallis 'Primal Scream' - a vibrant spider type, brilliant tangerine orange with a delicious green throat sets up on a really big, unusual flowering form known as crispate-cascade. The large flowers demand attention and is decidedly less neurotic than Edvard Munch's The Scream which just so happens to be a momentary and thankfully only occasional state of being at Quackin' Grass. On close inspection in the early morning if grown in part shade a suffusion of lavender can be seen concentrate supplanting petal midribs which quickly disappears as the flower develops. In full sun it is a beacon of madness not unlike the accusations towards yours truly fomented by certain accusers... just sayin'. 'Primal Scream' is the result of a cross between 'Tangerine Parfait' and 'Mauna Loa' by C. Hanson, 1994.

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.
