Daylily (Hemerocallis 'Pee Wee's Big Adventure')

I've only had this one a couple years, but it already checks all my boxes. For me, Pee Wee's Big Adventure is one of my longest blooming plants, as well as one of the latest. It just never quits once it starts going. Last year, it started on July 13, and didn't finish until October 15. That's 95 days of blooming and over 100 blooms all on its own. Love it. I did lots of crosses with it last summer to see if it will pass on it's blooming traits.

I'm so happy with it's performance, I don't think I ever checked on scape height or branching or other registration stats. It looks like it is registered at 36 inches, and I want to say it's not that tall for me. But I'm not complaining.

Wow, impressive performance!

Tim - I looked at it's stats and it is listed as a "bud builder" which may explain the long blooming season. It surprisingly has only 1 registered child, 'Goldman Sacked Us', but that cultivar is also listed as a bud builder, so it appears that the bud builder trait can definitely be passed on!

It doesn't seem to be a plant you hear about very often, not as much as Goldman Sacked Us, which is I want to say a VL bloomer. I'll see if it's kids are ugly in about 2 years. I just checked and Goldman Sacked Us doesn't have any kids listed. So maybe it's too plain for most people. But nothing plain about the performance. It is a really good Tet bud builder. Hopefullly it will pass that along.
