Daylily (Hemerocallis 'Chill')

I'm a fan of Chill. I bought it in '19, and it took a year to settle in. I went from 5 fans to 8 fans last year, and it was really settled in. I got 94 blooms on those 8 scapes. Registration suggests you get 8 blooms per scape, and if you do the math, I'm getting just under 12. I love seeing that, because usually I'm writing something like "I don't get the registered bud count, but that's not unusual here."

It's not registered as a rebloomer, and that checks out, here. But it has a double dose of Early and Often, a pretty consistent rebloomer for me, so I'm hoping to use it with other early rebloomers to see what I can do here.

I bought it when I was adding EE blooming plants. The earliest it bloomed for me was June 16, which is more like the beginning of E season, here. But it is improving and may get there.

I'll try to get a clump shot of it this spring. There are many days when there are a lot of blooms going. For now, here's one showing more that 8 buds.

Great review, Tim!

Here it is June 10th. Because it blooms so early, it really takes a year to settle in and show its bloom potential. Good increase though, perhaps in part because there is no hint of rebloom, and in this neck of the woods, it almost always shows up if it's overtly there. The smallish blooms are held above and in proportion to the foliage and are presented beautifully on nicely branched foliage. I love the chartreuse aspect on the back of the sepals. It's a classy effect that reminds me of trumpet lilies.
Last year for me it was pod-nope and pollen-easy.

Love that blush of pink and soft ruffling on it. Nice reviews, Tim and Justine!
