'What's Up Down South' is a dormant tetraploid introduced in 2008 by Judy Davisson. Judy is also known as "Davi" here on ATP! Check out her website for more of her beautiful daylily creations: http://www.picturetrail.com/da....
This is another of Judy's awesome ones. It is so bold, large and showy that I believe it could be seen from space while in full bloom. The shape is an exquisite cascade with lots of movement and it is extremely fertile both ways. Lightly fragrant too.
One of the hallmarks of this variety is its extreme vigor. It multiplies FAST and reliably produces tall, well-branched scapes that stay in bloom forever.
This plant is a favorite of mine and one I will probably always grow!
this is another one of the many of Judy's ( about 20 ) that I'm adding this year because of all the beautiful pictures and reports of the performance that they have, and with any luck I hope to add a cpl more yet as I'm filling out the rest of my garden. thanks to all who post those amazing photo's of hers and the great write ups about them.
Keep in mind that I don't live in your zone, but mine is planted in full, all-day sun and doesn't fade even slightly. It seems quite weatherproof as well.
I know there's a zone difference, but that should indicate some sun fastness here as well. I like 'weatherproof' cultivars...it's nice to go out after a slight rain and not see splotches everywhere.
The more I hear, the happier I am that I invested in a number of Judy's plants!
