The following is a list of our previous introductions. The list includes both tetraploids and diploids. To the average gardener that is an insignificant difference. But it does matter to many people. You will do well to note that the tetraploids are marked with an asterisk (*) before the name. The dipoids are not. 

ASHWOOD BLOOM WITH A VIEW (Robarts - Norris intro)  (seedling 13-22) (Last Midnight X SUBSTANTIAL EVIDENCE) 5 1/4" SEV M 39" Unique in the truest sense of the word, BLOOM WITH A VIEW is immediately recognizable. In the garden the green in throat area reads as spots in a way that I have never seen before, anywhere. (Larry Grace liked this one so well and was so fascinated by the unique look that he took it home for conversion.) One of my prime criteria for introductions is the idea that a new plant should have a characteristic that sets it apart from previously available daylilies. BLOOM WITH A VIEW meets and exceeds that criteria. This one has consistently charmed visitors here and we promise that you will fall in love with the look. I was unable to pass the line-out row the last several years without stopping to admire this one. Distinction is so important in daylilies and that is what this intro has in the extreme.4 branches with 28 buds. The fact that BWAV is fertile both ways makes it an intriguing candidate for use in hybridization.

ASHWOOD FIREBOLT (seedling 15-32) 8" SEV 38" M (EVIDENCE OF ALIENS x seedling) The height, size and striking green throat make this a prominent presence in the garden. We feel this is a significant step in the pursuit of the hibiscus form in the program. We registered this as an 8 inch flower but that was from a late blooming flower on the scape. The earlier blooms will be larger. A tiny bump in the size and a straightening out of the segments will get us very close to the desired form we want which will evoke the magnificence of the larger hibiscus blooms. The blossoms show a rich glow of red with a touch of orange. The entirety of the blossom with the contrasting green throat is very satisfying. Buds amount to around 18 on three branches.

*ASHWOOD'S PLUM CRAZY (seedling T09-24) 6 1/4" M 28" DOR RE (JERRY HYATT X seedling 03-53) A very special flower, ASHWOOD'S PLUM CRAZY, illustrates the breeding power of Curt Hansen's fine JERRY HYATT. This introduction never fails to draw the attention of visitors here. The look is a little different from most of our introductions at Ashwood but we would be plum crazy to not introduce this charmer. A bud count of 19 with good rebloom satisfies. The petals are rich smoky rose purple with a light lavender purple watermark outlined in a darker border. The sepals are an even richer shade of rose purple making this the elusive reverse bitone. The way the sepals twist puts this introduction into a whole new category for us. Just pure fun! Fertile.                                                                                                                    DOUBLE $30

*BLUSHING ESCAPADE (seedling T09-32) 5 ½” SEV 43” M RE (REPEATED DISCOVERY X seedling T04-40) It’s about the color. It is a very rich, fairly glowing rose pink that grabs your attention from a distance much in the way that CORAL MAJORITY grabs it. A visiting hybridizer stated that she would put it right along side that iconic introduction. With 22 buds and rebloom, a long season of beauty is assured. A white edge just adds to the overall impact. With REPEATED DISCOVERY and therefore BELLE OF ASHWOOD in the background, you know the plant quality will please you. Fertile both ways.                                                                                                                                                                                                             DOUBLE     $30

*BORDERS ON BORDEAUX (seedling T05-36) 5 1/2" EM 44" DOR RE (PEARL HARBOR X TUPAC AMARU) A bud count of 32 on plants that were growing on mediocre soil makes BORDERS ON BORDEAUX a fine choice for the gardener who wants an excellent plant. For the hybridizer, this is one of our best offers to date. We have a number of babies for this one awaiting introduction. The watermarks are greatly enhanced in many of the babies and the fine plant habit is readily passed along. The petal color is a delightful shade of rose purple and the very whitish watermark enhances the overall elegant look. There is a bubbled white gold edge with a hint of blue that gives an added dimension of distinction to the enchanting blossom. Fertile both ways.                                                                                                                                                                                                               DOUBLE $30 

BRYAN'S SONG (Robarts/Norris)  (seedling 12-14) 7" DOR 43" M (ONLY IN DREAMS X IDA MAE NORRIS) Three visiting hybridizers zeroed in on this one in the seedling patches. Mike Derrow and Dan Robarts (though not realizing it was his work) raved and "suggested" that I needed to pay real attention to it. In 2013 Bryan Culver of Ontario saw it lined out and offered $500 for a single fan. We have given Bryan the nod, honoring his enthusiasm. The flower is the clearest of lavender on a excellent scape with 4-5 branches and 27 buds. It is fertile both ways, giving exciting kids. Foliage is deep green and exceptionally clean all season. While we do not breed for lavenders very much, the little we have done in this direction reveals the likelihood this intro will be of great value to ones who are seeking progress in this color range. The beautiful lavender contrasting with the green of the rather large throat creates a striking presence.                                         DOUBLE FAN $60

*BUTTERMILK PIE (seedling T09-99) 8" SEV 27" EM RE (seedling T05-23 x BUTTERCREAM) One of my main goals in breeding has been to produce tetraploids with the flattest throat areas that I am able. Whatley's iconic BUTTERCREAM has been one of the few tets that meet this description up to now, This exciting introduction out of it takes the look another step in that direction. It also increases the size and adds good rebloom to the picture. BUTTERMILK PIE is flat from the very heart of the throat while showing more ruffling and depth of color. Dancing stamens are just a little side benefit that make this a great addition to the field. We have seen three rounds of bloom from this one. Fertile                          DOUBLE $30

*CALL OFF THE SEARCH  (sdlg T09-100 5” DOR 29” EM  RE (MARY’S BABY seedling x seedling) Very striking bicolor, so eye catching that we had to introduce it despite the fact that we do not purposefully breed for bicolors. The deep red petals are a startling contrast to the sepals which are pink with a hint of reddishness. This has been one of the most commented upon seedlings in the garden and even more so when we give club presentations. The three branches and 21 buds plus rebloom all work together to provide a plentiful bloom season. We have not explored the breeding as this is not our area of concentration. COTS should be a valuable cultivar for those who are breeding for bitones and bicolors. CALL OFF THE SEARCH is vigorous and fertile both ways.                                                                             DOUBLE    $35

CONTRARY CANARY ( seedling14-2) 7 1/2" DOR 34" E RE (HEAVENLY GHOST RIDER X ASHWOOD WRAY OF SUNSHINE)  A seedling that is this far out of my normal range for selection must be special to reach introduction. It is the vigor of the plant that merited our attention as much as anything. From being lined out in August of 2014 it started blooming on well branched and budded scapes two weeks before anything else in the gardens. Never missing a day, it was still blooming a month after the rest of the cultivars had shut down. As I have been breeding for decades for long bloom and rebloom, that is saying something! The canary yellow blossoms sport a distinctly green cast showing the ASHWOOD WRAY OF SUNSHINE heritage. We counted buds in the range of 40 on the original scapes and an average of 23 on rebloom. This is at the same time that the plant is increasing well and showing no signs of stress. We do not breed for this form so we do not know what should come of this plant in that regard. However, from 30 years of breeding daylilies I am confident to say that this intro will likely be a good tool to put many great plant habits into the unusual form class. We are pricing this one at a bargain level simply because it is outside of our normal range of concentration. Fertile.         DOUBLE $35 

DANIEL HOWARD NORRIS seedling 08-2 (KERMIT’S SCREAM X MARTHA EDSON NORRIS) 7” DOR 26 M DANIEL HOWARD NORRIS is what I had in mind when I made the first crosses of LIGHT OF DETROIT and WHEN I DREAM back in 1993. It only took 15 years to get what I wanted! When a hybridizer names a flower after a beloved family member, you know it is special. This beauty is named after my brother, professor emeritus of Botany at U. C. Berkeley. The 7 inch deep red blooms are in startling contract to the very large and very bright yellow green throat. The extreme contrast makes a statement in the garden like few other cultivars.                                                  DOUBLE $30

*ENDURING CHARM (seedling T15-4) 4 3/4" DOR EM RE (seedling x seedling) This is a cultivar that falls into the category of that the seedling that screams introduction from the very first bloom. This was our reaction to such standouts as BELLE OF ASHWOOD, MARY'S BABY, SUBSTANTIAL EVIDENCE and a few others. That reaction occurred before we even witnessed the instant rebloom of  Enduring Charm. That instant rebloom can be followed late in the season by regular rebloom, giving a floral impact of the highest order. There are 32 buds on three tree-like branches on the initial bloom. The instant rebloom is similarly productive even if slightly less generous with the bud counts. Our initial reaction to the blossom was based however on the glow of fine china we see on the petals, a quality that is not visible in the photographic image. For years we have specialized in the eyed/edged style of blossom, raising tens of thousands and we have never seen such a rich glow of fine china that we see in this one. The seedlings involved in the background of Enduring Charm are both down from CLARIFICATION and as such are likely to show ever richer and clearer tones in the babies. This one is fertile but we are not actively pursuing much in the eyed/edged genre at this time so this intro offers an opportunity for someone breeding in that area to create some spectacular looks with a unique glow from the petals and sepals.                                 DOUBLE $100                        

*EVERMORE GREATFUL (seedling T11-38) 6 ½” SEV 28” (WORTH IT ALL X RED HAT DIVA) A very large and very intense pure red with a large green throat and a fine white edge. With 18-20 buds there is nice long season of bloom. EVERMORE GREATFUL makes a wonderful prelude to the anxiously awaited sib, GREATFUL RED. It is a bit smaller but has much the same garden impact. This is your chance to get the genetics of this line at a bargain price. Pods are difficult but the pollen is good. The second and third images are of clump images of EVERMORE GREATFUL in its glory. We are coming to the conclusion that this one may be the better introduction between it and its sib GREATFUL RED.                                                                                    DOUBLE   $40 

  EVIDENCE OF ROYALTY  (seedling 02-3) 7” SEV 34” EM (seedling x SUBSTANTIAL EVIDENCE) This is the one that other hybridizers have lusted after for years now. It is a large at 7” with a giant yellow green throat. The color is a rich burgundy purple with extraordinary presence. The babies are amazing. All the plants have been subjected to the conversion process and show some tet pollen under the microscope. However they are easy to use as diploids and are simply fantastic breeders as such. It is possible to get tet babies from EOR but not so much that I have felt comfortable introducing it as a tet. If you can get some tet babies from it, you can just treat the results as a bonus. In the meantime using EVIDENCE OF ROYALTY as a dip will make you very happy. There is nothing else like it anywhere. Pods are difficult but possible, pollen is easy.                                                                                                         DOUBLE    $35

*FRUITFUL DISCOVERY (seedlingT10-40) 6" SEV 39" EM (MITCH LYND X LARRY LIKES IT)  We are pleased to be able to add this nicely toothed cultivar to the mix of this very popular type. The height is a needed characteristic in the genre. The basic color is a very rich and pleasing red purple with an abundance of white and yellow teeth. The color holds well in the sun and gives a very satisfying appearance in the garden. The foliage is exceptionally clean and a rich green which maintains its freshness throughout the season and well into the fall. Fertile both ways                                                                                                                                                                        DOUBLE  $30
