Daylily (Hemerocallis 'Little Wine Cup')

This daylily has been in my garden for about 25 years and is a great performer. It blooms heavily and consistently and always reblooms. It only takes a very short break after its first bloom and then it send ups new scapes for a rebloom. It is an older cultivar and doesn't have the fancy face of many of the new ones, but for a very long bloom period, rebloom and all round toughness, I don't think this one can be beat. Also, it is planted in a partially shaded location, and it doesn't seem to mind one bit!

A reliable consistent rebloomer here (Ontario Z4/5 - 40 or so kms above Lake Ontario: First 'hard frost' is usually mid-late October) FFO usually early July + Had open blooms again September 5 ->> With advanced new scape seen this morning (Oct 01- Should bloom shortly)(Might pot-up & pollinate & finish inside?) + Tolerates crowding; Failure to divide for lengthy periods (And yet still reblooms); + Being ignored (Have 3 separate scattered clumps) .... A worthy Historical to keep around. NOT a facile breeder (Looking for regional RE capabilities + SoT: Small blooms on tall scapes (Huben + Turner + Apps + Sobek 'Wildflower' types) .... But do have a few LWC seedlings - None really stand out .... so far.
