Posted by
Polymerous (South San Francisco Bay Area - Zone 9b) on Apr 9, 2016 8:36 PM concerning plant:
The foliage is relatively narrow (for a tetraploid) and is dark green.
The bloom color on this cultivar is variable. Some days it looks more blue-ish, other days more of a lavender or orchid. I think it may be weather related, but I have not yet figured out which temperatures (cooler or warmer nights) produce which colors.
'Angelus Blue Skies' consistently produces 4 x 4 polymerous blooms here (SF Bay Area) at a low %, maybe 20% at best. In the few crosses that I have made with it, versus non-polymerous daylilies, it did not seem to have passed on that trait.
The blooms tend to be slightly chalice shaped here - in other words, not opening flat or slightly recurved. After cool nights they are very slow to open and may not open "fully" (as full as they ever do).
