Daylilies typically have 21 chromosomes in the nucleus; cultivars developed with this basic set of chromosomes are referred to as diploids. Tetraploid daylilies have 44 chromosomes, twice the normal somatic number for the species. Plants with more chromosomes tend to have more substance than their diploid cousins. Tetraploid daylilies have larger and thicker leaves and flowers, stronger flower scapes, more intense coloration and increased vigor. So, there you have it! Many gardeners won’t plant a dip after they’ve grown tets. Here are 13 great tetraploid varieties. Collection includes 1 each of: Bettylen, Charlie’s Dream, Elegant Leontyne, Flounced Symphony, Fooled Me, Kenneth Roy, Nance Karen, Orchid Tinsel, Precise Pastel Lady, Royal Lace Sampler and Unconditionally Peach.
