Gram's Dream has preformed splendidly for me here in zone 5a. Multiples like crazy and flowers like crazy. I'm sure it meets the 30" height and I believe exceeds the 5.5 bloom size. I did get some seeds from it this year. It will be interesting to see if I get a toothy offspring.

Love this daylily. I agree with Sue. Performs well, although I have never had it set a pod for me. The only one time I had trouble with this plant is when I divided it. It took awhile to bounce back from being divided. Other than that it seems to bloom a long time and doesn't seem to mind the heat or colder mornings.

I received a nice double fan and a small single fan of Gram's Dream in August 2015 which I potted up. They were transplanted into a new raised bed in October 2015.

From the 3 fans, it produced 1 scape. I failed to record the stats on it this year. No re-bloom. It does appear to be rust resistant. It forms thin, short leaves, and even though it has increased to 5 fans now, it is still very compact. It started blooming on June 8, 2016. If I remember correctly, the scape only produced 4 or 5 buds. The blooms were lovely and I really like it! I hope it continues to increase and improve with more scapes and more blooms.
