55" very tall mid-late season bloom with large bright red 6.5"  flower. At first glance, Seneca Towers appears as one of those all-to-common daylilies that should have wound up on the compost heap.  In fact it almost did.  However, I couldn't bring myself to destroy it as it was the tallest daylily I have produced out of over 60,000 seedlings and it's a tetraploid.  

A few years ago we lined out 35 pieces of Seneca Towers. In that row, it begins blooming early in July and there will be a bloom, or several, open almost every day clear through to around Labor Day week.   Unfortunately, it doesn't do that in the display garden.

Seneca Towers bears at least two distinctions.  First it is very tall hardy tetraploid semi-evergreen and It blooms over a long period.  The second and probably the greatest distinction for Seneca Towers it that it readily accepts tetraploid pollen setting numerous seed pods loaded with seeds every year.
