    I've been growing 'Mascara Snake' since Dan introduced it in 2002 and love it! In the parentage is 'Pretty Late', a very late blooming Daylily and was one of my favorites when I used to grow it.

    In the parentage is 'Big Ross', another one of Dan Bachman's introductions, which I grow and love too!
