Susie - I hope your new plant makes it over the Winter.
I love this cultivar! It is my most favorite red bloomer. I obtained it this Fall. I received a bogo of this plant for a total of 4 fans. It started sending up two scapes shortly after I received it and is still blooming. It is an EMO even on cool mornings. This photo was taken early morning when the temps were in the upper 40's. I was amazed that the blooms opened up so beautifully despite the chilly temps. And because of the lower temps that entire day, these 2 blooms were still open and rather pretty the following morning. They finally began wilting around noon on the second day.
As far as stats, it is below stats since it is a newly planted cultivar in my yard. But the number of blooms (even below stats) has me impressed! I hope it multiplies and makes a nice clump in 2017! I also hope to use it in my hybridizing efforts in 2017.
It is hard to capture the deep red color in photos. Most of my photos show it with more pinkish color instead of the true red colored blooms. It is a keeper in my garden and a wonderful intro from Patrick Stamile! I love, love, love Walter Kennedy daylily!
