Bridge to New Hope (2025) (The Tribble With Blue X Tet. Crystal Blue Persuasion)
4.5, 30, EV, E, RE, 4 branches, 16 buds, easily fertile both ways. The Tribble With Blue X Tet. Crystal Blue Persuasion. Crisp near white with a notched violet blue eye outlined magenta and a tightly-ruffled magenta edge. Vigorous and very hardy in my garden. For those working on blue, this daylily is a bridge to new hope in blue breeding. It tends to produce hardy offspring that have nice blue color. One loses many seedlings when working with Tet Crystal Blue Persuasion, so the solid hardiness of Bridge to New Hope makes it a valuable tool.

There’s a bridge there connecting New Hope with the equally charming town of Lambertville, New Jersey.
