I have had Kansas Kitten for at least 5 years. It is planted in a shady area, to protect it from fading. The shade does not effect it's performance. It blooms reliably every year. Kansas Kitten is an exceptionally hardworking daylily. It's blooms are unaffected by Texas heat. The plant does go heat dormant in July. It would be one of my top five daylilies.
May your garden be a source of joy and happiness!
