Daylily (Hemerocallis 'Desire of Nations')

It grows and blooms well here in zone 6b.It is a little short here but is a keeper.

Great blooms and numerous blooms that go late into the season. Very fertile.
Excellent in every way.

Even though I have had this one for awhile it was not performing like I thought it should. I moved it late summer 2018 to a better location and it helped, the.scapes.are not as tall as they should be but the performance was alot better in full sun. It is a slow increaser for me also but a beautiful flower to look at

Can throw some gorgeous blooms. This past season was bad for later bloomers (very dry), and Desire of Nations did not show very well. Should be a few inches taller than what it does here. A parent of some more recent Emmerichs.
