Suga said:I have had Gentle Shepherd for many years in my 8b garden. Some years it will do better than others I guess depending on the weather conditions. I love how white the blooms are on this Daylily. I haven't had much luck setting seed pods on it however. It is a beautiful addition to my collection and I have shared it many times over the years that I have had it. It is one that I made sure I dug up and moved with me when I moved because I like it to much to leave it behind!


Suga, I noticed that about the seed pods last year. This year, though, I'm having more success now that it's established. How long has yours been in the spot that it's in? It could just be rebelling that you moved it. He seems to be a little picky about that. Rolling my eyes.

Edited to add: I just went out to count and of the 6-7 blooms I pollinated on him, 6 of them have pods forming! Seems like he just needs a year or two to settle in...
