    Fancy Face has perfect blooms every time, and it is also a good increaser.
    This is one of my favorite daylilies.
    Overall, a great daylily.

    Fancy Face was one of the biggest disappointments I've had with buying daylilies. The colors on mine hardly resemble the photo of cream and blue but it's a horrid gold and orangey brown instead.

    I have had Fancy Face for years. It is a very nice bloomer and a striking flower. A row of Fancy Face grew along my driveway side garden for years.
