I bought a new daylily yesterday "Apple Crisp." It was a rather large and well maintained plant (5-6 fans) which had 3 or 4 scapes on it, 2 which are still blooming.
Looking at the spent scapes as well as the 2 that are still blooming, this plant is a bud builder. It isn't registered as one though. This cultivar was registered in the early 1980's.
So my question is, was "Bud Builder" a term that was even used or recognized in the early 1980's??
