Daylilies Hybridized by Daylily Breeder George Pride

    Tranquil Lake Nursery introduced Miss Peach, the first of George Pride's tetraploid daylilies in 1972 and continued to introduce his fine daylily hybrids for the next fourteen years.  George retired from working at the Arnold Arboretum and lived in southeastern Massachusetts.  He developed many fine tetraploid daylilies and showed much restraint in selecting only the best for registration.  He was especially interested in red daylilies, polychrome daylilies and early blooming varieties.

 

    The daylilies that are listed below are in good supply. We have smaller numbers of a few of these Pride Daylilies and they will be offered in future years. We ship healthy double-fan divisions or clumps (4-5 fans), unless other-wise indicated. Occasionally, low stock varieties and some new introductions will be shipped as single fans. Our guarantee still applies.
