I live here in north Florida and got Final Touch as a gift. I didn't realize it was a dormant or a diploid, so first it surprised me that it disappeared on me after blooming so beautifully and second, it wouldn't set a pod from any of my daylilies. I think that all but one or two were tets at the time - big surprise. It increased so fast where I had it located but blooming fell off - I don't know whether it was so much more shade under the oaks as they grew or if the plant just got too congested. The soil was a combination of the sandy clay loam, pine chips from having so many acres of pines timbered out, and about 2/3 of a dump truck load of mushroom compost all rototilled to a fine soft soil mix. I have divided and moved it over to its permanent home where it gets a lot more sun until mid to late afternoon so it will have some protection from the hottest hours of the Florida summer. I'll have to keep you posted on its performance in its new home. The flowers were such a clear pink with the lighter sepals. Very striking and so lovely. I like that it was so late so I got a huge flush of flowers late in the season. There were so many plants packed in there that I never figured out whether it rebloomed or not but it did bloom until early November. I am looking forward to seeing how they do it their new home. I really like this plant.
