Airy and graceful when it's blooming, but not as many buds to bloom as many of the other daylilies here. It blooms for about 3 weeks, which is what I record instead of keeping up with how many buds live to bloom. It gives a few poly blooms along the way. It also rebloomed in 2015. The plant has increased steadily. The foliage also would be the type I'd call evergreen. It's an early starter in spring and begins blooming around mid-May here. I do grow the dls in large containers, so that may effect anything I observe. 'Marked By Lydia' just got upsized into a nursery tree pot, so it has a lot more room if the weather cooperates. I am satisfied with it as a performer here.
