Bubblegum Queen is registered!

3 years ago
last modified: 3 years ago

I just received confirmation that the seedling I have called "Big Pink" is now registered with the name I wanted: Bubblegum Queen. If I had gotten the news sooner I definitely would have listed Bubblegum Queen in my five best B's.

Bubblegum Queen

(Zimmerman 2023) Deep rose to bubblegum pink petals with lighter watermark and white edge. The first blooms are 8 inches on 32 inch scapes. Later in the season and on rebloom, the flowers are 7+ inches. A semi-evergreen tet, this Early cultivar is a vigorous multiplier and a reliable rebloomer. Bubblegum Queen has an average of 18 buds, with a range of 14-21 buds and three-way branching. It is a reluctant pod setter, but the pollen is extremely potent and almost always sets a pod. I have lots of exciting seedlings coming from this parent. (Dancing Flamingo X Bubblegum Delicious)


The photo above shows BQ as it looks on the first blooms when temps are cool. This next picture is more representative of the bubblegum pink it shows most of the season when temps are in the 90s here.



Here are a couple of clump shots, the first on a 98-degree day last summer, and the second from two summers ago.

    And I want it when you are ready to sell it please let me know. It will go into the new section of the right front bed. And, I love the name too.

    Very impressive! Looks as though it is superior to Dancing Flamingo. The clump shot almost looks as though fans are double scaping.

    Congratulations for many reasons. First the daylily doesn't looked faded to pale pink in the heat. I've said this before; how many pale pinks can one have? The second kudo is because the name doesn't start with an "S"...............I think you are getting the hang of this hybridizing business..............Maryl

    Congratulations Debra! This is another winner for you!

    Maryl - Those clump shots were taken in late morning, and not at the end of the day. So it does fade more than that. But most of my pinks were very much faded in the bud last summer, so they opened faded at the beginning of the day. Bubblegum Queen held its color better than most of the pinks in my garden.


    Mantis - I always have several fans on it with instant rebloom, so there is some double scaping. It does perform better for me than Dancing Flamingo, wth more buds, better increase, and a rounder bloom with a mroe pronounced edge.

    Debra: Congrats on getting this gorgeous pink registered. Hopefully you will have some still left in the fall. Right now I don't have any space beyond what I already have coming. I will need to make room for that one!

    Agreed!!! Just gorgeous! But I am a pink lover as you know. The name fits. Congratulations on a winner.

    Debra, Bubblegum Queen is a Wow! I love the rich true pink with the nice green throat. The stats look wonderful too. Congrats!

    Thank you, Sherry! I've already sold two plants since announcing the registration today. People seem to like my pinks better than any of my other introductions.

    David - I hope I will have some for sale in the fall. I had six double fans available for Spring, and I've already sold four of them.

    Congratulations Debra on Bubblegum Queen. She is a beauty. You work so hard on your babies and the results are just wonderful.

    What a beauty Debra! Well deserved accolades for your new intro. At least most here appreciate the long process to breed and bring to fruition. Scrumptious!

    Thank you, peren! This one took less time from seed to registration than most - only five years because it's such a marvelous multiplier.

    Very pretty!

    Congratulations! I absolutely love the chartreuse throat contrast to that pink! It's perfect opposition.

  • 3 years ago

    Popmama - The big, green throat does give a lot of contrast to the flower.


    Oursteelers - Thanks so much for the nice comment!
