Daylily (Hemerocallis 'Suburban Nancy Gayle')

I purchased this plant back in April 2016 from Shady Rest gardens. It grew well that year but did not bloom , it's first bloom was April 19th 2017. The plant has been a superior performer here in my garden. I took a lot of photos of this plant last year, it was a real beauty and it did rebloom for me. I am expecting great things from it again this year.
This was the fist bloom ever on this plant in my garden.

Here is a bloom about a week later

Here the plant is in July with no blooms left.

But it came back to rebloom starting on Aug. 6th

Here are another couple of shots showing how well the plant did last year.

There is a lot to like about this plant!

I purchased this plant in 2013 from a club sale [before I joined ]. A favorite if you like big, bold red daylilies. With decent dirt, sun and fertilizer, I'm sure it will do better than noted below.

FFO in TX has ranged between 5/6 and 5/22 with a typical date of 5/17. With benign neglect [little to no fertilizer and crummy soil], tree roots, moles, quite shady, etc, worst bud count was 6, best bud count was 14 here with 2-4 branches. Measured blooms have ranged between 6 and 7.5 inches with scapes ranging 21"-28". Rust has not been a problem. I have used the pollen. Pod setting has been difficult but have not really pursued this. The plant has survived -6F, albeit under snow cover.
I do have proof of one "polypeller" but no polymerous blooms and no proliferations. Fan expansion is slow here and I have not divided the plant in 10+ years.
