Daylily (Hemerocallis 'Heavy Weight Champ')

I grew this for 3 seasons until it finally disappeared over winter. First the positive. When it got it right it was gorgeous. I love chicken fat and this had it in abundance. The pink color was a good one also (not salmon pink, more true pink). Now to the not so good part. It hung up well over 50% of the time and wasn't a great bloomer. (2 of the 3 pictures above are mine. The 3rd one shows the bloom hung up as usual). I kept it because of the color and the edge. Maybe it would do better in a warmer, longer growing season then I have............Maryl
