    There shouldn't be any secret that this is one of my favorite reds. It performed nearly perfectly for me. This is only its second year in my garden, and its performance has me drooling already for next year's blooms. The scapes were 23+" and were very strong and standing tall. It was very hard not to notice this CV from across the lawn. I have used it in several crosses this year and it seems to be both pollen and pod fertile. It also looks as though it will be a fast multiplier as the fans have doubled from the original three planted...

    Prairie Wildfire started blooming in April and it was the first time I had seen it. It is such a beautiful red, now one of my favorite daylilies. My husband comes out everyday to see what is blooming and he is smitten with this one also. Very fertile. I highly recommend this red.
