Daylily (Hemerocallis 'Salieri')

I have had Salieri growing in TX for a long time. It was not real happy in its location [hadn't bloomed in a couple of years] and was moved a couple of years ago but hasn't bloomed. Most people listing it are farther North. Too much shade and oak tree roots & moles don't help. The above photo is from 2020.
Here's one from 2009

@SunriseSide Does 'Salieri' grow as a 'dormant' in TX or as something else?

Dormant here. 90+ hrs below freezing the last week.

I got Salieri from a lovely lady who I befriended after stopping at her house after work one day in 2009 where she had a sign "daylilies for sale". What hemaholic can pass that up! Sadly, Lois is no longer with us, but in 2013, she and her husband stopped by to drop off a daylily she had bought for me from Lowe's. That daylily was Salieri.

I got rid of Salieri in 2020 due to downsizing, but have some pictures of it to share. It grew under my Eastern redbud tree, so there were some roots to contend with. But it multiplied well and for a darker daylily, it was fairly splotch-free. I think it benefited from the shade because it stayed dark for a good portion of the day. It wasn't a bad daylily, I am just not partial to most of the very dark daylilies.

I don't have a record of bud count or branching, but I don't think it was more than 3-way branching. I never had rust on it that I can recall.

Excuse the poor quality pics from old tracfone. Moldovan cultivars are quality plants

Maine zone 5a. Salieri grows like a weed, great garden plant!
