Daylily (Hemerocallis 'Heavenly Orange Blaze')

Beautiful daylily!

New to my garden last Fall, Heavenly Orange Blaze was one of my favorites from this season. It bloomed for weeks on tall, strong scapes. It does well in the South, despite the fact that it's a dormant. The color is bright and glowing. A real show stopper! The foliage is a little on the yellow side (as opposed to some daylilies that have more of a blue-green foliage color). Bud count was low this year, about 10 buds, 2 way branching, but this was a very dry year for us, and all the daylilies had low bud counts. I'm hoping it improves as it gets more established. (Registered 16-20 buds, 4 way branching.) I have this planted in the front yard, so the neighbors can enjoy it too.

This bud-builder shows balanced branching on strong scapes, with screaming hot color. Tall scapes ensure it stands out in a crowd. Very impressive!

Gorgeous in poly form:

Started June 2 this weird year (2023):

...and was well-underway by the June 4th:

Blooms somewhat early here. Is doing the slow, bud-building wrap-up by the beginning of summer, which is midseason here in 7a.
