Very hardy in my zone, a beautiful color and no matter where I stick it, it will bloom. This is in the very coldest raised bed I have and the weather does not bother it and I have some under shady conditions and it blooms slightly about a week later is all. Love it.

This is definitely one of my very favorite dayliles, in spite of the fact that I usually prefer the singles. It's a really gorgeous bloom on a very healthy plant, and I ADORE the color. From a distance, it strongly resembles a rose. It's a KEEPER!

In a large grouping that started with four plants, this double classic is a show stopper! The tawny-apricot color never fails to get someone begging me for a cutting!
