I introduced a plants named Promise Your Heart in 2008. Many years later, Daru Sharp observed that her Promise Your Heart plant was consistently displaying broken color, even if the broken color effect is not a show-stopper. I verified that my Promise Your Heart was the same bloom that I originally registered (no hint of a broken color). So the plant discovered by Daru had mutated and now has the broken color effect that it can pass along. This is important because despite the increasing number of broken colors that are being registered each year, there is a very limited gene pool from which they have all been bred. So, both Daru and I are testing Breaking Your Promise to see if it can contribute some different genetics to this effort.

Originated by Manfred Heinrich 2021, Dip, 25" tall, 5" diameter, Midseason, dormant, 4 branches, 23 buds. Very white daylily. I grow about 75 white daylilies and, having seriously compared them all, this is the whitest of all of them. Fertile both ways. This is an important plant for anyone who wants to breed white daylilies, or has been waiting for a very white daylily. Parentage is unknown.

Kendig, TET, 2023 introduction, 30" tall, Midseason bloom, 4 branches, 24 buds 5" flower. Purple and pale lavender stripes and watermark. Colors are almost identical to Wacky Wednesday and I believe it is the child of Wacky Wednesday x The Snow Moon. A beautiful broken color, and a great parent to use to try to increase the bud count on the broken color plants.
Kendig, (2025) height 28 inches (71 cm), bloom 5.5 inches (13 cm), season M, Semi-Evergreen, Tetraploid, 12 buds, 2 branches, Very white. This is, I believe, the first TET white daylily to equal the white color of Gentle Shepherd. The committee that has evaluated more than 250 white daylilies has evaluated only 8 cultivars in the very white category. White Owl is newly assigned to that group and is the 1st TET to be included. ((The Snow Moon x Eskimo Dreams) × White Crinoline)
Kendig 2022 Introduction, DIP, 34", Dormant, Midseason, 4 1/2" bloom, fragrant, 5 branches, 30 buds. Beautiful white bloom. This is the white plant many of us have been waiting for. It is among the 5 daylilies that have been identified as the whitest available today. What makes it different is that it is vigorous, tall, and well branched with lots of buds. (Sagarmatha x Big Snowbird)
Kendig, TET, 2022 24" tall, Midseason bloom, 2 branches and 12 buds and frequently reblooms, 7" flower Semi-Evergreen, Rich Howard x unknown. Yellow and red broken color, descending from Explosion In The Paint Factory. Red color is rich and the broken color occurs reliably but with high variability. I really like the bloom photo with the red stripe down the midrib. My goal is to produce stripes rather than splatters or irregular color breaks.
