Daylily (Hemerocallis 'Cosmic Traveler')

Excuse me, where do you live? because I have never seen this plant in my life please tell me. or a least what region.

Cosmic Traveler grows well here. Not always completely clean, but usually not badly splotched. Scape height and size sound about right. Acceptable bud count for here (6-12). It multiplies well.

Cosmic Traveler grows OK here, but does not like our drastic High/Low Spring temps. I nearly lost it the first year here, but since then it has done well. It makes seed, both ways, and I can not wait to see the results. It has yet to hit it's registered 25" scape height. The best it has done is 16". TET Connie Burton does that to crosses, so best to cross it with flowers that have good, reliable scape height of 28" or better. One can not ask for much better in flower fullness, color saturation, and ruffling. It has smooth texture with diamond dusting in sunlight. It is one of my friend Dan Trimmer's best achievements.

I planted Cosmic Traveller in April 2021 which I bought off the LA. Only two blooms this year, both in August about a week apart. The blooms were beautiful though! Hoping for a lot more next season, although we can have touchy Springs as well, Freeze/thaw being a real problem… we'll see!

Still not very impressive in 2022. Cosmic Traveller has an excellent spot in my yard, so that's not the problem. It lost 4 out of 5 fans over the winter. Blooming on the last fan from July 9 to the 30th, it only had 9 blooms. Somewhat dissatisfied with the performance on this. Probably the wrong climate for it.

Forgot to post pics!
