Does the name Elizabeth Nesmith ring a bell?
NEARLY WILD is proof that even daylilies of the historic past can produce exciting new daylilies. BEAU BRUMMEL was introduced in 1955 by Mrs. E. Nesmith. AUTUMN RED was introduced in 1941 also by Mrs. Nesmith. I thank Mrs. Nesmith for her dedicated work which led to this delightful daylily. NEARLY WILD is a clear orange self with a yellow-green throat. The pony-sized bloom displays an exotic look and will complement many perennials. The clean orange color pops in the garden. NEARLY WILD will also be a valued addition to any garden display that presents historic and modern daylilies.
Fertile both ways.
