    Perhaps my comment is reflective of tissue culture, as not all daylilies do well tissue-cultured. Would love to find a piece of this plant that has come from division only to see whether it would be the same. That said, my plants of Just Plum Happy were the worst daylilies I've ever owned. They were the first to come down with leaf streak every year and spread it around. Their color melts in hot sun. Their color melts in high humidity. Their color fades by afternoon. Probably more negatives to add, but 'nuff said.
    Positives: Reblooms all season, so as to prolong the misery.
