Some of you wanted to know the best bloomers of my older ones. The best are Mary Todd, Crimson Pirate, Royal Elk,& Gold Banner, with So Lovely, Hyperion, Frans Hals, & the alias Autumn Minaret very close behind. Dumortieri blooms well, & very early in the season, about a month before any of my other daylilies. I have Howdy too, don't think I mentioned that one earlier, & it blooms quite well.
On the other hand, Arkansas Post & Brave World don't bloom very well at all, as few as 3 blooms per scape, but I really like how they look together so I keep them around. Better Believe It and Crazy Lace don't usually bloom well, but I keep them around because they are a little different. And just when I was thinking I should get rid of them, they will have a really good year. This year Better Believe it bloomed nicely & then rebloomed with almost as many as it had the first time. It's just like they know something.
