I have about 15 varieties, and this is one of the two longest-blooming. It has stout stems and produces a large flower. It has a wonderful fragrance. It does tend to be more yellow in part shade, and the spent flowers do like to hang on rather than fall off, but I don't see either of those as a problem. It's mid-August in Zone 4a and this is still blooming and still has buds left to open.

Love this oldie. One of the very first whites. In the shade tends to be yellow but it was a breakthrough in daylilies. I plant it near Thomas Hogg Hosta to show each other off.

Nice large very pale lemon blooms.
A big issue I get from this daylily is that the old blooms do not drop cleanly, often melting on top of new buds, preventing them to open. Of course, if one is so inclined and manually removes the spent bloosoms, this problem would be averted.

A nice white which is inexpensive and easily grown.
The lemony green tones in the throat add a pleasing
tone, especially when combined with other plants of
similar shades in the garden.

This daylily is rated cold hardy to zone 6a and has performed very well for me! Even after 20 inches of snow and two 5-8 inch ice storms (and no mulch), it is bigger and better than last year and in full bloom in June!!
I had pronounced "Ice Carnival" RIP in my garden two years ago, when SURPRISE it bloomed this July. I guess it is more of a survivor than I thought.
