NEW DAY

Breeding Heritage of the Far East

The "Novy Den" (New Day) lily is a prominent member of the Asiatic group, with a lineage deeply rooted in the scientific research of the Botanical Garden-Institute of the Far Eastern Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences (FEB RAS). Developed by breeder Alevtina Ivanovna Nedoluzhko, this variety is the result of years of work focused on adapting ornamental crops to challenging environments. Within the professional community, "Novy Den" is valued for its stability. As an Asiatic hybrid, it exhibits exceptional hardiness, particularly a high resistance to Botrytis (gray mold), which is often the "Achilles' heel" of many bulbous plants.

Aesthetics and Physical Parameters

This variety is designed for creating accent groups in landscape architecture. Its physical attributes make it an ideal choice for residential flower beds:

• Dimensions: Reaching a height of 60–90 cm, the plant fits perfectly into both middle and back tiers of flower arrangements.
• Blooms: The cup-shaped flowers, reaching 16–20 cm in diameter, feature a rich purple hue. A key feature for those sensitive to scents is the complete absence of aroma.

In the market, "Novy Den" is positioned as a reliable choice for gardeners seeking a low-maintenance, high-performance crop. Its lack of fragrance makes it an excellent candidate for front gardens located near terraces or windows where strong floral scents might be overpowering. The patent status, held by the Botanical Garden-Institute of the FEB RAS, ensures varietal purity and predictable performance when standard cultivation practices are followed.
