This is one GREAT daylily! It clumps up fast, throws unbelievable numbers of scapes/flowers on an established clump, has great color and UF form, and seems to be somewhat resistant to rust. The only problem I have with it is it does all that at the expense of setting pods/making seeds. I have set pollen on it at least 500 times and gotten only one pod. Many of the daylilies that are like that---are like that. Another example is: Primal Scream. I put pollen on at least 500 flowers of it, and used it's pollen on another 100 or so. The pollen did not work at all. The plant set two pods from which I got a handful of seeds. However, the seedlings from those seeds are all keepers, so I guess it was worth it.
Here are some pics of the seedlings: The first ones are of Primal Scream x Cotopaxi, the next ones are of Primal Scream x Solar Music, the last few are of Primal Scream seedlings I got from Jim Jeffcoat.
