One of the best daylilies in my garden (with nearly 700 cultivars)! I bought it many years ago as a double fan. Within three years it had clumped up to over a dozen blooming fans that reliably instant rebloom here. First flowers are at least six inches. Subsequent flowers averge about 5.5". Scapes are strong enough to hold upright two of these flowers, but three will make it bend. Flowers are of heavy substance---so they weigh a lot. Flowers sometimes hang up and need some help. Some people report that it happens all the time---but not here. I would say they will hang about 20% of the time. The problem with the hangs is that it is not easy to get them to open without some damage to the flower. It is best to wait till late morning to manipulate them to open. By then the flower will be at it's most open stage so it will take less to get it to spring open. WOIA will set pods fairly easily if done early in the morning. You can easily set pollen on even the hung ones as the stigma shows out from the petals.
