Daylily (Hemerocallis 'Cat Dancer')

Cat Dancer took a while to get adapted to its home in my garden. But once it did wow. I have the pleasure of knowing Gail Moore and very glad to grow this cultivar. Cat Dancer in 2015 was an Award of Merit Winner.

Cat Dancer took a while to get going for me too. I love its green throat. It does fade in the sun, so I transplanted it where it has a fence post and other plants on one side of it to protect it a little from the afternoon sun. Love the name and love the colors of this daylily.

I purchased Cat Dancer this past spring from Petal Pusher and it was planted in a holding pot for the summer. It immediately sent up 2 scapes and bloomed beautifully off of those two scapes for 10-14 days.

The flowers are gorgeous, and they held up well throughout the day (although they weren't in full sun until 12pm-6pm. It has spent the rest of the summer growing strong roots and greenery. Can't wait to see how it performs next year!

I just got Cat Dancer this spring but it took right off and bloomed well for a first season plant. It hasn't been through a winter here yet so will have to see next spring how well it does.

I acquired CAT DANCER this Spring and planted it in a pot. (My eyes are always bigger than my flower beds...) I wasn't expecting much from a recently dug/divided plant, but it did bloom. Beautiful clear colors on this one. I'll have to wait until it settles in to take performance stats.

I'm sorry I missed this thread as Cat Dancer is one of my all time favorites! It performs very well in South Carolina and multiplies quickly here. The colors are fabulous and I especially love the orange tone in the middle of the watermark and that bright neon green throat is like no other as it glows from the center on both the petals and the sepals! Some photos I've seen of it growing up north don't show the variation in colors that I get here.

A really beautiful daylily that I consider one of the classics along with Beautiful Edgings and Blue Eyed Butterfly!
