* Bloom in tropical lowlands. Daylilies don't seem to start scapes when nights are always over 70, as in Tena. However, Matt Kaskell's seed strains from the Florida Coast might have that problem licked. They will be tested. Also, seedling growth should be rapid in Tena, so I might encounter some seedlings that bloom there. | * Bloom in tropical lowlands.

| + | * This year (2021) seed will be made in New Hampshire. | ||
| + | * About half of the plants will be freshly delivered evergreens, the others mostly dormants that I have bred or that are otherwise present in at Harmon Hills farm. The evergreens will mostly be pollen parents, though I will pod them as best I can. | ||
| + | * Most crosses will be short crosses, to identify best parents and strategies. Each bloom will be individually tagged. | ||
| + | * Crosses will be across all goals, dip and tet, mostly things that will combine evergreen, rebloom, and rust resistance. A few bud building crosses using pollen from group 1. A few dark scape crosses using Sir Blackstem (group 1). A few rhyzomatious crosses. | ||

* Seed will be dry-stored, and scarified in a bottle with some sandpaper. Cold wet storage is not required and reduces potential storage time from years to months. | * Seed will be dry-stored, and scarified in a bottle with some sandpaper.
