Daylily (Hemerocallis 'I Lava You')

How could this plant not have any reviews? It deserves its awards! Absolutely beautiful plant and bloom and a vigorous plant with tons of blooms.

I agree, Jill! I don't own this one, but I bet several people do since it won the Stout Medal in 2020.

Wow! That's a fantastic photo, Jill! Just beautiful.

I have my I Lava You grouped with Flying Trapeze, Katisue Herrington, and After a While Crocodile, which together can create a show that lasts a large portion of the summer.

I Lava You is a beautiful bloom, with bright colors and interesting form. I haven't measured mine in a few years, but notes from 2019 show my best scapes were between 40-44 inches, and 44 is the registered height, so it's got that going for it. It gives me between 3-4 weeks of blooms unless I'm having weather issues.

Here are some siblings from a cross I did, I Lava You x Let loose where you can see that is is happy to pass on its quilling and crispate form. The second one is really long, with petals in the 11 inch range, so it can also pass along some really... I keep stopping myself from saying large blooms... more like long, spidery blooms.

Such beautiful pictures!
