Daylily (Hemerocallis 'Pastures of Pleasure')

I've had Pastures of Pleasure for a while. First planted in 2018, a small shriveled fan from G Wild, it took a while to get going.

The first year I started keeping records was 2021. It bloomed from June 29- August 5 with 16 flowers and ended with 7 small fans in October.

In 2022, POP started the season with 14 fans ( big increase!) and bloomed from June 30- July 21 with 30 blooms. It ended the season with 12 fans ( lost a few).

In 2023, POP had 17 fans in April. I'm starting to think some of the fans go dormant early. It had a very prolific blooming season from July 5-28 with at least 53 blooms. It ended the season with 12 fans in October ( again, fewer than what was showing in April).

This is a very pretty color that I rarely see on another Daylily. It's a cross between pink and lavender. The flower has good substance and usually presents well without blotching or weird forms. It's very short, it has to be near the front of a border, which is where mine is. It's not fancy but it's still nice, especially as it clumps up. I like the round form and slight ruffle too.

This was one of the very first daylilies I bought! Was a pretty color, but smaller flowers. Mine was more the registered height of 36" and did produce pods. This one was not very heavily budded, but it was fully dormant and increased quickly to a very large clump in only a few years. The color was the biggest draw of being orchid lavender. Not at all fussy here.
