Luel and I were asked to attend and speak at the Can-Am meeting in 2008 held in Toronto. While we were there, we bid and won two daylilies at the auction. We did not know much about them but they have turned out to be excellent hybridizing plants for us. One was Violet Victory – a purple introduction from Mort Morss.  We have found Violet Victory to be a good pod parent and produces a good percentage of dormant plants for us in spite of its evergreen growth habit. Below is a picture of Violet Victory in the garden.
Violet Victory
Seedling 16-3 (Violet Victory x Tet. Lavender Blue Baby seedling) – We love the patterned eye on this seedling.
Seedling 16-10 (Violet Victory x (Ancient of Days x Rolling Stone)). This dormant seedling has a great rich color with white teeth.Â
Seedling 16-13 (Violet Victory x Lydia’s Cloth) – This flower is bigger with larger edge than Violet Victory – great clear color comes from Lydia’s Cloth
Seedling 200-4 – (Sawtooth Predator x Violet Victory) – Nice teeth and lavender/blue watermark
Seedling 273-2 (Violet Victory x Heartbeat of Heaven seedling) – Great color contrast with watermark and edge.Â
As shown above, Violet Victory has produced purple/lavender flowers with watermarks, white teeth and clear colors.Â
