Daylily 'Starburst Susie'

WOW ! Thats a beauty !
can you tell me if it's a dormant one ? I'm guessing that it is probably not since you are in Florida.

Wow cool looking bloom! Great photo too!

She is an evergreen.

RYLAFF - Very nice image. There is no AHS registration for this name. Is this someone's seedling? Do you know the parentage? Also, do you have any specs as to flower size, height, percentage of doubling, etc. Thanks.

Here is some information on this one, dkp.

Thanks, Rylaff, for the additional information. I checked out the link and it appears that Monrovia has trade marked but not registered the name with American Hemerocallis Society. Their page refers to it as "Monie" which is also not registered.

To me, this one looks very much like one of the species selections such as H. fulva "flore-pleno" or H. fulva "Kwanso." This name game has been played with many registered and unregistered plants and people who are buying need to be aware that they may be buying the same plant at a more expensive price due to a new, trademarked name.

If anyone is currently growing this and is familiar with either of the above selections, I would be very interested in hearing how they compare.

I also was very interested to know if the daylily - "starburst Susie (monie) is the same as Kwanzo. Have you found out any more information. I have done some research, but still unsure myself.

I was at the nursey and Starburst Susie was blooming, and it was love at first site. I picked up the plant and was going to buy it, but decided not to because it looks a lot like Kwanzo. My Kwanzo hasn't bloomed yet but is getting ready to in the next 3 - 4 days. So I decided to wait. Does anyone know if Starburst Susie is a dipold?

I suspect that since it is a trademarked daylily, that appears to be a variation of H. fulva, that it may be tripolid. Can anyone confirm or deny this?

Late Dr. Mitsuru Hotta went to the ecology investigation of Hemerocallis in Thailand in the past.
The hill tribe had already grown it in Thailand. It is this Hemerocallis.
This Hemerocallis was transferred for the Dr. Hotta, and he brought it in to Japan.
This is a start to extend to the world.
After that, went to Europe was to grow sales in the Netherlands.
"Hemerocallis fulva (L.) L. var. Kwanso Regel, 1866" 　is selected from the population.

Therefore, as a scientific name

"Hemerocallis fulva (L.) L. var. Kwanso Regel, 1866 'Starburst Susie'" will.



故・掘田満博士が過去に、タイにHemerocallisの生態調査に行きました。
タイの山岳民族が既に栽培していました。それがこの植物です。
掘田博士はこの Hemerocallis を譲って貰い、彼は日本に持ち込みました。
これが、世界に広がるきっかけです。
その後に、ヨーロッパに渡り、オランダで増殖して販売されました。
「Hemerocallis fulva (L.) L. var. kwanso Regel, 1866」からの選抜個体です。

ですから、学名としては

「Hemerocallis fulva (L.) L. var. kwanso Regel, 1866 'Starburst Susie'」となります。

This photo certainly looks like the Kwanso daylily I grow. It is a very fast mover, snaking underground with thick orange runners and filling in an area quickly. The flowers look rich orange from a distance, but when one gets closer, their accents of red are visible. The petals seem to be double or even triple, stacked altogether on one another. The daylily farm where I purchased Kwanso said its heritage included the wild ditch lily, which is also orange but not double, and also a fast mover. An alternate name I have heard for Kwanso is "Double Irish". I like it, but I can't place it near coveted perennials because of its spreading capacity.
