Daylily (Hemerocallis 'Momentum')

It is reported to be an outstanding parent but to me it has a muddy color that I don't care for

MOMENTUM is reported to be a good parent. I have yet to use it. The first pictured bloom is quite representative of how it looks in my garden. It typically has at least three branches and 12-17 buds. It is not a rapid increaser, but makes healthy looking fans. I would agree that the color is a bit muddy.
