I have had this daylily since November 2008. It will never leave my garden! It doesn't get rust. Blooms like a fool every year. It's a late and adds interest to the garden when most other daylilies have faded, although it has already started blooming this year. I love it and welcome it back when the scapes start popping up. Last year it routinely had scapes with 27-30 buds apiece and it is a bud-builder here on the beach. Consistantly one of my best performers!!
