Survived two Maine winters so far and the blooms are pretty this year. Last year only had a bloom and it was not expected. Think I am going to like this one very much.

My favorite daylily. Such a beautiful color. I also enjoy the shape of the flower. Fast grower. Several buds each season per plant. A true winner and consistent bloomer! A must for anyone of like daylilies, or needs an easy perennial to add color and interest to the garden. Mine is grown in part-sun.
super nice plant. first year transplant small double fan bloomed very nicely for a baby. not fancy-schmancy like some, but really nice color and engaging to look at. seems to be a good parent as well. the new kid established itself quickly and has already begun to spread nicely. a good garden investment.
