Daylily (Hemerocallis 'Red Ribbons')

Unimpressive in my TX garden with short scapes & low bud count. The area will be rehabbed this fall for one more chance on this cultivar.

That's too bad, Dave. One of the pictures in the database looks like it has decent branching.

I concur with Dave. Disappointing budcount and generally unremarkable in my garden. As it ends up getting overlooked in favor of all its snazzier and more long-lasting neighbors, I haven't noticed stats, but I doubt it reaches 42" here. It needs grooming as spent blooms get hung up. Here it is from this past summer, June 15th. Call it peak bloom for this CV.

It has genuine spider form and the color is fine. It looks nice in the picture! I guess I hope for stronger habits and a bit more pizzaz in person. It's historic though.

Looks like I got two fans from Dragonfly Farms back on 06/17/2015. This is an older plant for sure, but according to my notes it holds it color in the sun well. It showed good rust resistance back before I started spraying for rust. The plant seems to be about right as far as the stats go. It is pretty tall in my garden.
The plant multiplies well, and I show a note on it showing that one year it had proliferations on every scape in the clump. It has been divided a couple of times and seems to recover well. Judging from the photos I have taken of 'Red Ribbons' it does rebloom in my garden. So overall I would rate this as a dependable well performing older daylily.
