Daylily (Hemerocallis 'John Karl Seager')

It is a beautiful daylily that performs well in zone 6

The first season in the garden, this one did not bloom. However, in 2017 it produced several of these, same color and size. Scapes are sturdy, 6" less than registered at 30" here with a decent bud count of 13 with 3 way branching. The color is unique and starts early at mid July here. A keeper for me.

I received this from Simonton Bridge in October of 2023. It is starting life in my garden with 4 fans. It's planted in a somewhat shady spot, I'm crossing my fingers that it does ok there.
