In Search of Angels has been quite a pleasant surprise for me. It has grown well and its blooms are a much more vibrant, more exciting shade of rose than I imagined it to be. Photos I have seen do not do it justice. I have used its pollen this year, and some early pods are developing. I am very happy with this plant. Zone 5.

Gripping Power came as a double fan plant and very nearly died its first year. I thought it was dead, but it revived and grew in the spring. It was very short, perhaps only 14 inches tall that first bloom season, and I was not happy with it, but this year is a completely different story. It grew well, increased well, and grew as it should. Blooms were big and beautiful and the plants were much taller, with dark green leaves. Overall, this plant recovered from a rotten first year and has become a very nice plant for me. Zone 5.

Bama Girl Tee grows well for me and has increased nicely. It has good pollen and I've set several pods on this plant. It is in full sun and only slighly modified clay soil. It displays metallic glitter in its edges and passes that trait along to its seedlings. I've enjoyed growing this one -- it has done quite well for me in my Zone 5 garden.

Glitter Gal grows well for me. It is listed as a late season bloomer and I find that to be true in my garden. It has increased quite well and blooms reliably after a somewhat slow start. Its first year it struggled, but it has now improved quite nicely and is doing very well. I have set several pods on this one, and its pollen is also fertile.

I Can Only Imagine has performed quite well in my garden. It has had good increase and bloomed very well for me. It is pod fertile and pollen fertile and I have some very nice seedlings from it. It displays a good amount of metallic edging on its blooms and passes that trait on to its seedlings. This is a very nice plant, growing tall and blooming well.

Prissy Girl is better suited to a warmer, gentler climate than mine, I think. It has increased very slowly for me and bloomed very little. I do love its blooms when one opens, but it does not thrive here in my Zone 5 hot, humid location. It has produced viable pollen for me, but I've only managed to set a single pod in 4 years.

It has some of the most luscious metallic edges I've seen yet in my collection and I do love its pretty face! I think I will move it to a more sheltered location and see if it perks up for me.

This has been a lovely plant for me. Meggie's Smile has increased well and reliably produced big bright beautiful blooms. It has produced good pollen and several seed pods for me. It is an early-season bloomer and I find I wish it bloomed longer through the season, but I do enjoy it while it lasts. It is a bit on the short side, but it makes a perfect front of the border plant in my garden.

Gavin Petit is a beautiful daylily that has stuggled in my Zone 5 hot, humid location. It is growing in full sun, with a light covering of mulch. It has been kept weed-free. My original double fan has increased only to 6 fans in 4 years' time. I have been successful using its pollen, but I have not yet set a pod on this plant. I have enjoyed growing it and it does have a beautiful bloom, but I think it has not been terribly happy to be here.

Boundless Beauty is a very good performer in my Zone 5 garden. It has a high bud count and has increased clump size very well. It's fertile both ways for me even in hot and humid weather. I suspect I will always grow this one.

I purchased two double fans of Arctic Lace 3 years ago. It has bloomed every year, but has only increased a little - I now have one clump of 3 fans and a second clump of 4 fans. It is growing in full sun with a light mulch around it in clay loam. It is quite pollen fertile and has set some pods, but is more selective about pod production. I'm in Zone 5 with high heat and humidity.

I was timid about purchasing this daylily, but it has performed very well for me in Zone 5. Our heat and humidity have not slowed it down a bit. It has increased well and blooms reliably for me. It has produced pollen and pods for me and is a bright spot in my garden.

Ruby Spider routinely grows 38 to 40 inches here in my zone 5 garden. It handles our hot temperatures and high humidity with grace and beauty. It has increased well for me even through our drought years. It is definitely one of my favorite reds.
