MARIETTA HEARTBEAT
MARIETTA HEARTBEAT. [(Spiney Sea Urchin x (Heartbeat of Heaven x Johnny Cash)) x Cerise Masterpiece]. Semi-evergreen. Tetraploid. Early to mid season blooms. 30” tall, 4-way branching, 25 buds, 6” flower. MARIETTA HEARTBEAT is just an absolutely stunning and gorgeous purple, with a distinctively blue eye. I am also particularly delighted with the ivory colored edge on both the petals and the sepals. I like it’s perfectly round form with its petals overlapping each other. The parents are from Stamile’s introductions, with one exception: Karol Emmerick’s Heartbeat of Heaven. The addition of Heartbeat of Heaven just changed the character of the daylily: more purple, better form, gorgeous eye, and a lovely, lacy ivory edge. I named this daylily after my hometown of Marietta, Georgia, and incorporated the name “Heartbeat” from Karol’s Heartbeat of Heaven. MARIETTA HEARTBEAT grows very well, and should grow practically anywhere. It certainly does exceptionally well during our cold winters here in North Georgia. Pod and Pollen fertile. $200.00.
