Tree of Paradise

Description

Tree of Paradise (Korth-P., – Korth-L.; 2026)

31”, 6.5”, M, Dor., 5 branches, 25 buds, Tetraploid

Pinewood Tree of Life x Hailey Annabelle

Red with bright gold edge and light red watermark, sepals are lighter red and match the watermark, green throat.

What did we expect when we crossed the dark purple Pinewood Tree of Life with pastel Hailey Annabelle?  Not sure but we are pleased with this fine red daylily.  The best features are the clear color and excellent scapes.  It also opens well and is hardy in our zone 4 climate.

In the garden, Tree of Paradise has great, sturdy scapes like its pod parent.  The flowers roll back and do not hang up despite the large gold edge.  With the excellent bud count, the bloom season is extended.  It is rather slow growing which is fine in the garden as it does not require dividing as frequently as fast-growing plants.

As a hybridizing plant, we have found Tree of Paradise to be pod and pollen fertile.  We did not make use of it much the first few years as it was slow to grow but we have seen some fine seedlings last year.

The name is synonymous with Tree of Life, the pod parent, and the Tree of Paradise will be found in the new heavens and new earth per Revelation 22:2.

Tree of Paradise is slow to increase and we are selling it as blooming size single fans.
