Dr. Frank Galyon, a retired ophthalmologist, was what most might describe as the ultimate plantsman. While probably best known for his work with Magnolias, he also worked extensively with Iris, Camellia, Daffodils and Daylilies. While having several notable registrations with his Magnoia and Daffodil breeding, here at Southern Skies Gardens, we are proud to offer four new introductions from his Daylily breeding efforts.

Chosen from a group of seedlings left in our care by Dr. Galyon, Tanager Pink, Tanager Peach, Tanager Lemon, and Tanager Rose are all new for 2011. Dr. Galyon's primary focus in his breeding efforts with Daylilies was to create flowers for the late season, so as you might expect, all of these new introductions are late to very late season bloomers. Here in our zone 6 gardens, we never expect to see scapes on these flowers until at least mid to late July.


If you've been looking for late season color to add to the garden, these hybrids from Dr. Galyon can certainly fill the bill by extending your season to nearly frost in many parts of the country.
