Kronos

Kronos.  Daphnis.  1966.  Advanced generation lutea hybrid.  Dark crimson-blood red flowers.  Petals are lightly ruffled and are waxy.  Stamens, stigmas and sheath are all red.  Seldom available and quite good.  Foliage is finely cut.  Produces many ground stems and plants can be divided.  This plant should not be confused with other cultivars, but we sometimes see Iphegenia being substituted incorrectly.   Medium height plant with finely cut foliage.  No fertility noted, but we have seen light amounts of pollen.  Parentage:  (D-23) (Lutea 1 x J 25 ‘Ubatama’).  Ships in late September to mid October.  AGE: Field grown, 4+ year old graft or division from larger plants – our choice of available plant material upon harvest.
