Saw this at the local Home Depot in 2010 and loved the color so I had to have it.. This year the plant has doubled in size so hope the blooms are many!

I've had tremendous success with this daylily in my zone 4 garden. It blooms consistently and multiples rapidly, despite being listed as an evergreen. It truly is a "Beacon" with it's bright green eye.
