Daylily (Hemerocallis 'Kachina Firecracker')

I purchased this from LarryR a couple years ago. Good healthy fans. So far it's been a slow starter. Hoping it does better this summer.

I bought it in 2013 and gave it away in August 2019. It multiplied at a moderate rate, so got to clump size in a few years. Branching was very nice, maybe 3-4 way. I don't remember counting buds at all.

I got tired of all the leaning scapes and some were even on the ground. Such a shame because the blooms are really beautiful.

October 5, 2017: Obtained plant (Bonus plant received from Dragon's Mead: Two Fans)
June 16, 2018: Bloomed (First bloom of the season on this plant.)
June 20, 2019: Bloomed (First bloom on this plant for the season.)
Here is a photo of the plant just planted in the garden originally. Oct. 5 2017

Here it is in Jan. 2018 looking pretty much just like it is registered as a semi-dormant.

But here it is in 09/04/2019

This was one of the blooms in 2019.

I do wish I could learn to take more notes on the plants and record more stats, that is something I really admire in others and want to do but seldom seem to accomplish it.

I wish I had good news on this one... it has struggled here. Perhaps it's not happy in the location its planted. I've had it for several years and haven't seen a bloom and the fans are dwindling away. Maybe I'll pot it and baby it in hopes that it'll straighten up.

It is a beauty judging by others reports.
