Sooby is right, this one is the "imposter", same name, but not registered. This 'Frankly Scarlet' does well in my garden, 2-3 way branching, 10-15 buds, and rebloomed twice on nice, tall, strong scapes. It's a gorgeous shade of deep red and has a velvety look that I love. As for the original 'Frankly Scarlet', the description does not match what I have. Per the AHS website, it is "Red with a cream edge and yellow eyezone above a yellow to green throat." I would love to see if anyone has the true FS. The beauty and success of the imposter I fear may have completely replaced the original true registered plant. I hope people will realize that this is why it's so important to register all daylilies with AHS (daylilies.org).
