Daylily (Hemerocallis 'Siloam Ury Winniford')

I have only had this plant for three seasons. Got it and Siloam Ethel Smith at the same time. Siloam Ethel Smith established itself faster and has had many more blooms so far. Siloam Ury Winniford blooms are perhaps a little prettier, so hoping it settles in and does blooms better.

I had this for many years. I tend to prefer larger, flashier flowers and ended up giving it away to make space. It is a pretty flower, bloomed well, but never made a good clump in the 5 or 6 years I had it.

I obtained a nice-sized clump of Siloam Ury Winniford in the spring of 2022. That fall (2022) I received a second clump from the same seller as a bonus. I think she forgot that she had already sent it to me. I planted the two clumps next to each other. (Later, she sent me a third clump with another order, which I immediately passed on to another forum member.)

The first clump bloomed nicely for me during its first season. Late in the season, both clumps showed some rust. This season (2023) both clumps showed rust early, and I had to cut them back. They did not bloom for me. I'm afraid Siloam Ury Winniford is on its way out here. It's too bad because the blooms are clean-looking and pretty.

If you live above the rust belt and are looking for a petite, pretty, front-of-the-border plant, I can recommend it.

I planted Siloam Ury Winniford in October 2022 from Nan (@DeweyRooter), and it bloomed in June 2023. Notably it survived the December 2022 flash deep freeze which killed some of the daylilies I planted in 2022. The blooms are small and the foliage compact, so it definitely needs to be in the front of the garden.
