Mahieu diploid 98-530 J
[ETHEL RUTHRAUFF X (H CITRINA X LOLA BRANHAM)]
48 ML 6.5 NOC VFR EXT DOR, 5 way branching 34 buds  trumpet form

This is a beautiful intense violet bitone with a blue chevron watermark.  The form is a trumpet viewed from the side, 4.5 inches in length, closure to 3.5 inches.  GUDRID has some of the most gorgeous, deep blue green foliage in the garden gracefully arching and ruffled.  Very insect and disease resistant, an excellent grower and clumper. Extremely fertile both ways, with her Patrician lineage GUDRID promises to produce a new dynasty of clear purples with excellent plant habits.  The trumpet form is easily overcome by crossing with flat-faced daylilies.
