I've seen several comments regarding Dorothy and Toto that suggest either it does not increase well or that it's hard to locate, as well as still being quite pricey or frequently sold out even after being out for nearly 20 years.

My response is: even here in zone 3, it has multiplied beautifully and I will be dividing it this year. (I can go ten years or longer here in a cold climate and not need to divide a daylily) ... Dorothy and Toto could be divided every several years even here, so I suspect that would be more likely where it's warmer.

It branches well so the flowers are not crowded together even when there are multiple blooms ... and rather than the price reflecting a problem with increase, I would say that the 'problem' is with its beauty ... so many people want it, that demand is what keeps the cost up there. When anything is frequently sold out, it's often because it's popular.
