GREAT AMERICAN PIE PAN

TET (Jeff Bradley x Icy Icy Wind)
Semi-evergreen, 8.5” flower, 8-way branching, 38 buds on a 30” scape. Wow when I first saw this daylily blooming in the garden I said look at that big pie pan over there. Like a pie pan the huge flower opens perfectly flat with heavy substance and a tight ruffled edge. The large deep green throat spills out onto the cream white petals. A great flower deserves a great scape and that it has. On rebloom this flower can have large pleated ruffles thru the petals. Fertile both ways.
