BARBARA NICKEL

S.Holmes  Sdlg C860. Tetraploid Dormant Late Mid 6". 16 buds, 37 H, 4 Way Branching. (Lavender Tall Stacks X Mildred Mitchell) X {(Yellow Mammoth Seedling X Webster's Golden Wonder) X Michael Bennett}

BARBARA NICKEL is a lavender bitone with a chartreuse throat blends into a lighter blue lavender watermark.  The watermark which is darker near the throat and at its outer edge can be patterned after cooler nights.  The petals and sepals both have purple veining.  The petals have a pale lavender picotee edge.

This fine lavender watermarked daylily is named for Barbara Nickel, a regular garden visitor who has become a good friend. I was honored when she picked one of my favorite daylilies to bear her name.
BARBARA NICKEL is a 2012 Junior Citation Winner.
