Pat Cochenour's Daylily Introductions

As of 2025, Pat Cochenour's daylily introductions will be maintained as a legacy collection. For the past 10 years, it has been a joy and a privilege for me to send Pat's wonderful daylilies to gardens all across the country. All of Pat's daylilies are displayed in a gallery format, using most of her original pictures and introduction descriptions. Although I am no longer maintaining a sales inventory, I will continue to be a source for Pat's daylilies whenever my display clumps are big enough to divide. Please contact me via email if you are interested in adding any of Pat's daylilies to your garden, and I will let you know what is available.

2011 Introduction

Soft pink with lavender eye and green throat. This crested double that sometimes polys is a real standout in the garden.
