Daylily (Hemerocallis 'Sun Bear')

This are very nice plants.
For seedling.

I received this from @Deryll in the fall of '16. It bloomed well and nicely in '17. I like the form, the deep dusky red, and little teeth. The scapes were right around the registered 36" and was probably on with bud count also- I didn't count but the 16-20 as listed in the database seems about right.
I set some pods on it and have seeds in the fridge waiting for spring.

2023 I still grow this and have some lovely seedlings from it. Hardy- has put up with move after move- sets pods so easily. I use this one to check fertility on new tets.
