    This produces the largest flower and foliage of all my daylilies here in zone 9. Here the foliage is hardy year around, and for several months sends out proliferations easily. It has never shown rust or bug problems in the years I've grown it. The flowers are literally the size of my outstretched hand and a rich, bright, cheddar-cheese color of gold. I intend to grow it as a row border plant in the future when I have enough of it.
