Indy Rhapsody is a nice plant and very prolific. I have moved it a couple of times and it doesn't seem picky about the relocation....just because....not because the site was less than ideal. I'm not a huge plain red gal, but every time I think of getting rid of it, I change my mind so that should say something! I haven't kept stats as I'm too busy taking pics and 'acquiring'....but no negatives on performance in my south central Kansas site! Maybe this next season I should focus on that, but there's always something else to do, and if I don't like the bloom or think it underperforms, it goes....I don't need a 'count' to tell me that! You just know.....

I just got this in 2022 and it was still settling in in 2023. I will check my pics some other time for review.

@jkporter, how tall does Indy Rhapsody get for you? It is registered at only 19" tall and I would love to see a clump shot if you have one to see how tall it really gets.

It's parents (Mark My Word x Post Time) are registered as 26" and 28" tall respectively and almost all of Indy Rhapsody's kids are in that range except Indy Siren at 16".

I purchased IR from a local daylily farm in June 2022 and I really think that what they had was taller. I do remember than I purchased it because I am looking for late bloomers, and in their field, IR was barely beginning to bud, which would put it at Mid-Late as registered. However, even at that, I would not have purchased it if it was only 19" tall and would not have placed it in the garden where I did. My fault for not looking up the specs before buying it.

Pictures from 2022 and 2023 of what I purchased as Indy Rhapsody. I thought it was short because it was still settling in. Not only that, but the scape in 2023 was laying over.

Good bloomer, good grower for me. I have had it several years and I now have 2 large clumps of it despite sharing it multiple times. Not a large or fancy flower, but an outstanding shade of red. Added, after seeing above post added while I was typing. Mine is definitely at least 24" tall, although I have never measured to get exact height.

Thanks, Nancy. This is one I will be paying attention to when it blooms this coming summer.
