Boasting a substantial substance and a generous sprinkling of diamond dust, Dancing Swans exudes elegance. Upon its initial bloom, it was evident that Dancing Swans would be a noteworthy introduction, resembling graceful swans engaged in a dance within my garden. This exceptional daylily traces its lineage back to our Love One Another, specifically bred for green flowers, and includes both tetra Rose F. Kennedy and tetra Emerald Starburst in its pedigree. Notably, the impressive Guy’s Swan Song, a creation of Guy Pierce, is part of its parentage, further connecting to tetra Rose F. Kennedy. With the infusion of triple genes of green from two doses of tetra Rose F. Kennedy and a dose of tetra Emerald Starburst, Dancing Swans becomes an ideal candidate for hybridizing programs focused on whites and greens.
