Ruby Storm has been in my garden since 2016, has bloomed prolifically every summer. I have not accurately tracked first/last bloom though it seems to begin blooming in late June and continues until late July. Height is a little taller than the registered 26". Though I've never counted buds, it is clear the plant produces abundant blooms. It has formed a large clump which is now in need of division.

Added: This is absolutely one of my favorite daylilies! Love the colors, they don't fade in the sun. Scapes stand up well and have never required staking.

Good grower. Large eye; generally clean. Often invites clump shots, so tends to bloom in bouquet fashion. Cannot remember length of bloom; does not bloom early here. Seems very hardy. Height is about right here.

I've grown RUBY STORM in my Zone 5 garden for many years, to the point of it needing division. Responds well after division. I typically mulch in the Spring, so it survives my winters with little protection. Colors are clean. Consistent bloomer. Blooms are above the foliage. Good all around plant for the northern garden.

Of all the great Tet Peppermint Delight kids, this one takes the cake. It's perfectly hardy here in USDA Zone 7a/b. Foliage is deep green and pretty resistant to rust. It clumps up quickly without losing vigor. It produces seed with ease and makes seedlings that grow well. The only thing I would change is the flower size. Add another inch and it would be fantastic.
