RFK in my garden:
I have grown RFK since 2011. It cost what was a small fortune for a daylily at the time, however to my delight, I was sent 6 fans for what I bought as a triple fan. I planted it in two places with 3 fans each. On one clump in the first bloom season, I counted 92 buds and on the other clump, I counted 88 buds. I used the pollen all over the garden and I still have a few hundred RFK kids under evaluation. My first intros from it should be this year. In 2012 I had 14 fans of RFK. So not only did it bloom well, it increased well. I have not had such great increase in any year since, and it has not bloomed as well. It does bloom every year but I have not had it rebloom. I have it in 3 or 4 places now and will give at least one clump some real TLC this year as a test.
Here are a couple of pictures where RFK was showing off in our garden.
