This cultivar was one of my suggestions for the Daylily of the Day. I received a 5-fan small clump of Big Snowbird and planted it into a new raised bed on December 28, 2015. In March, it started producing 3 scapes. On April 4, it had it's first bloom since being relocated and transplanted from the North to the South. Perfect and beautiful bloom! It bloomed for about a month with it's last bloom on the 3 scapes on May 6. Well, today when I was out in the garden, I noticed that a 4th scape is emerging from the clump. I don't believe that it is a re-bloom scape. It is coming off one of the 2 fans that had not produced a scape yet. I am thrilled!
It's first scapes were between 21" - 23" with 5" blooms. (So they are shorter/smaller than what the hybridizer listed.) Once this plant settles in after a year, that should all increase. There are rusty cultivars in the raised bed, but I've not seen any rust on any foliage of this cultivar yet.
Thank you Karen (kousa) for sharing this beautiful daylily cultivar with me.
