Daylily (Hemerocallis 'Licorice Twist')

Last summer was the first year on this one. Unfortunately the rabbits ate it off before it bloomed. Hoping for better this summer.

Texas grown Shade tolerant. It has bloomed anywhere I have planted it. One clump went to the club plant sale last summer.
2021 primary clump 7" x 33" 10 buds 2 scapes on 3 fans this year
Loves to pass on the dark color to kids from the pollen. Pollen easy, pod difficult due to the long pistil
One of the kids exceeds a meter in scape height.



One of the kids exceeds a meter in scape height with rebloom and occasional poly
Seedling x Licorice Twist

It's not listed as fragrant…
The clump I have tagged as Licorice Twist is super fragrant. 37" to first branch division and upper blooms put the scapes at 43"

Slow to increase here, just 4 fans over 3 years.
