While 'Sharply Focused' is noted for hardiness to zone 5, I have been growing it quite well in zone 3. It blooms in early to midseason (then reblooms). It just keeps putting out perfect bloom after perfect bloom, with a lovely multicolour eye and pie crust edge - and does not 'hang up' on opening blooms that are already fully fledged by just after 6 a.m.
The lighter, smokey-blue tones of the complex eye (with a lavender-violet outer, second ring bleeding like spilt watercolours into the near-white petals) will grab your attention from anywhere in the gardens. (It has also produced poly blooms in my gardens.) It reaches every inch of the listed 36-inch scape height, flowering well above the foliage. If you only want to add 'one' new daylily into your garden this year - this would be the 'one' to add.
