I have to agree with Larry. It all depends on what traits are most important to you. I don't think I have any daylilies that most people would consider good bloomers. Low branching and low bud counts with no rebloom. But I'm ok with that because my daylilies perform fine despite my lack of watering and fertilizing on a regular basis. Also, with my tiny garden my plants have to be spaced close together (typically 6" or less apart) so I'm amazed they do as well as they do. In midseason my garden looks just as lush and bloomy as everyone else's despite the low bud count because lots of plants are blooming. My situation is much less than ideal but I'm working with what I have. Many of the newer varieties don't do well for me since they need more coddling than I can give. So I stick with plainer, older cultivars for the most part.
