Daylily (Hemerocallis 'Mike Longo')

I just planted Mike Longo this year so I cannot comment on it. Look forward to comments from others who have had it for a while.

Mike Longo has always done well for me here in my zone 5 garden. It was a little slow to multiply at first but has proven to be worth the wait. Beautiful !!

I find Mike Longo a slow grower and not always a reliable bloomer. Last year Maine had a long warn growing season and Mike was lovely. Maybe Michigan has a more reliable warm summer? Visitors have never commented on the plant until last summer. The flower has some substance and a nice ruffle.

I have had ML for about 4 years it is slow to increase even planted in full sun, when it blooms each year it is impressively lovely not just another yellow.
