I received CASTLE PINKNEY as a gift plant from the Shooters a few years ago, and it really hasn't grown much for me over the years. I really like the pink color, and it does bloom every year -- but I think that because it's a dormant it doesn't do as well here in our hot climate as it would in a cooler environment. But it's still here in my garden, which really says something as I've been giving away lots of plants to make room for the newbies!

I planted Castle Pinkney in my zone 7b north Georgia garden in Oct 2022, and it bloomed on June 7, 2023. That is particularly notable because it survived our highly unusual deep flash freeze in December 2022, which took out many daylilies in the area. The pink color is stunning in the garden. Although not the registered bloom size of 7.5, it was nonetheless large for its first year in the garden.

Although I no longer grow Castle Pinkney, I loved it. Somewhat shorter in stature; plant towards the middle to front of the bed, I found its bright pink blooms to be a true saturated pink. Great form, multiplied nicely, no problems. But for some reason, my customers just seemed to gloss over it when visiting the farm. Go figure.
