Daylily (Hemerocallis 'Buddy's Gloria')

I have had 'Buddy's Gloria' since 06/18/14, it is what I call a good garden plant. It is inconsistent in the bloom appearence in my garden.







It does form a nice clump quickly.


It does multiply rapidly in my garden. Divisions ready for plant sale.

Weirdly, I like tearing down the spent (cow) pea vines from the trellises and hauling away all that frost-bitten brown foliage.

A friend gave me a fan of Buddy's Gloria a few years ago. Unfortunately, it didn't thrive, didn't multiply, and finally died this summer (2023) during the awful heatwave and drought. (95% of my daylilies did indeed thrive, but not this one.)
