Daylily (Hemerocallis 'Man-eater')

I love this toothy daylily! Increases nicely and puts on a great display of blooms on a clump!

Yes, Man Eater is such a good grower. My pics are on another computer. Every bloom seems perfect.

As Ginny and MantisOH mentioned, Man-eater has been a good grower for me. It seems to double every season, usually during the warm months. It also has a very long bloom season.

I bought this plant in the Spring of 2021 from Northern Lights, who sent one large fan. By Fall it had doubled to two fans.
The following season, 2022, starting at two fans in April, it bloomed from July 3- August 12, with at least 38 blooms counted. ME ended the season with 4 fans that contracted a slight case of rust.
The next season in 2023, ME started with 4 fans and bloomed June 26- August 16 with at least 28 blooms counted. I know there were more, I just wasn't around. By the end of the season, it had doubled to 8 fans.
This year, ME is starting the season with 9 fans. Wouldn't it be something if it doubled again by Fall? Many of my Gossard plants do extremely well here.

Got this plant as a gift from a friend the year it came out. It's been healthy and reliable bloomer every year. I grow it in a pot in zone 8 as I do several dormants. Passes that toothy trait to offspring for me.
