Daylily (Hemerocallis 'May May')

Even though I've had enough of 'white stuff' around me this time of year, I love this near-white DL in my garden. I view it as having a perfect flower form and purity essence. I've consistently enjoyed May May's plentiful blooms early in the season and also appreciate the second flush later.

This is my second year for May May, and I was kind of hoping for better performance. I didn't get any rebloom of any kind, and I was thinking I could get that disconnected rebloom from it. The kind where it blooms, then rests for a couple weeks or more, and then reblooms. Maybe it just needs to clump up a little more.

I bought MM two years ago in the fall...... because it was blooming!

Last year it did bloom and I believe I had 1 or 2 scapes of rebloom, none this year!

It bloomed on July 5 last year and on July 6 this year. Scape height is around expected at 20 inches.

It is slowly increasing and I like the whispy light flowers it produces.
