    Drowning in Desire was new to my garden in 2012, I have been very pleased with its growth and performance to date. The blooms are beautiful, a lovely shade of red with a gold glitter edge that really stood out in the garden. It survived the winter quite well in my zone 3a garden and has increased from the 2 purchased fans to 5 fans this spring. I would definitely recommend this daylily.
