    Easter Pastel is a lovely daylily but is probably best suited to a warmer zone. It tends to be a stingy bloomer for me under the best circumstances. It is often damaged by late, hard freezes and as it is an early bloomer for me that often means it never can put on much of a show. It also means that some years it never blooms at all.

    I love the unique flowers so I'm not planning on removing it from my garden. But if you are in an area with cold winters and unpredictable Springs I would definitely plant Easter Pastel in a very sheltered, very well-drained spot in your garden.
