H. 'Reaching New Heights' a 2012 introduction by Bobby Baxter

H. 'Reaching New Heights'
(Baxter, 2011)

H. 'Reaching New Heights' is not only one of my daylilies. "Reaching New Heights" is also a motivational statement and goal of Daylilies of North Carolina.

As a flower, H. 'Reaching New Heights', registered at 68", is one of the tallest daylilies of all time. The AHS Registration Database shows 43 registered cultivars of 68" or higher, and only 10 registered cultivars of 74" or higher. In 2010 & 2011, it exceeded 74" in my garden.

Motivationally, "Reaching New Heights" guides my hybridizing and passion for the daylily. As the leading hybridizer of high percentage (over 51%) polymerous daylilies with more than 20 registrations I am also an advocate of encouraging the promotion and advanced development of the form. By pricing my polymerous daylilies affordably and sharing information freely, I believe more daylily fanciers will grow & enjoy the polys, and more gardeners will be hybridizing them.

I also challenge hybridizers of the spider form of hemerocallis to work toward "eight-legged" spiders as genuine arachnids have.

Hemerocallis 'Hugh Nourse’ (Baxter, 2011)

Hemerocallis ‘Hugh Nourse’ is a 2012 tetraploid introduction.

H. 'Hugh Nourse'... (Baxter, 2011), Sdlg. #HN, Tetraploid, 5 ½" to 6" bloom, 24" tall, semi-evergreen, reblooms. Simply my finest tetraploid introduction to date. The vibrancy and intensity of the colors in this flower explode across the entire garden and you can actually feel the electrical charge of this daylily. The base color is an intense orange backlit with yellow, and the large splashy red eye is infused with a slight spectrum of underlying tones that make this daylily scream. The eye color continues to wrap the petal edges. Named to honor one of the most brilliant people that I have ever known. This daylily is a very easy pod setter, has great pollen, and reblooms reliably. Parentage is H. 'Adorable Tiger' × H. 'Cajun Christmas'

H. 'Hugh Nourse' is a true "extended blooming" daylily. It starts in the early season and its first set of rebloom scapes come up immediately. This first set of rebloom scapes start blooming before the first set finishes giving you an incredibly long bloom season.

Hybridizers love H. 'Hugh Nourse' for its incredible ability to easily set pods, even in high temperature. Overall, this plant is simply one of the finest daylilies that I grow.
