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 ‘In Celebration of Life’ (Baxter, 2011)

Hemerocallis ‘In Celebration of Life’ is a 100% polymerous 2012 introduction.

H. 'In Celebration of Life'... (Baxter, 2011), Sdlg. #014, Diploid, 100% Polymerous, 7 ½" bloom, 36" tall, semi-evergreen. I have been working hard creating a new genetic line of pinkish-lavender ranging spidery type polymers resulting in three of my new 2012 spring offerings which are H. 'In Celebration of Life', H. 'Status Update', and H. 'Time and Dimension'.

Achieving 100% polymerous daylilies is difficult enough and so when a real beauty appears with the high percentage it calls for a celebration. The pinching petals and amount of "action" of this Unusual Form provide a nice balance and symmetry.

Combining a nice size bloom on tall scapes above the foliage creates a nice presence in the landscape for the gardener. Hybridizers will like knowing that with H. 'In Celebration of Life' they have a powerful polymerous daylily that will set pods and has good pollen.
