Hybridizers Notes:Squire’s Castle was built in the 1890’s by Feargus B. Squire (1850-1932) who was vice president and general manager of the Standard Oil Company. It was the first piece in a grand plan for a 525 acre residential compound to be occupied by Mr. Squire and his wife Rebecca. It now stands as seen above in the Willoughby, Ohio Metroparks and is free for all to visit. I have enjoyed going there to meet up with friends and have had many great memories there over the years.
Squire’s Castle the daylily is a royal purple with a lighter purple watermark blending into a yellow green throat. It is complemented by a double edge of light purple and gold on the outer edge. It does occasionally get hung up on cold mornings. It has a lovely tall scape and is easily fertile both ways.
