This was the 1st bloom year for Bengali in my garden, and I am very delighted with it. I could never get the color just right with pictures, photos came out looking more red than in person where it was much darker. I received 2 fans, and ended the season with 2 fans. Both fans bloomed really well though, and both rebloomed just as well as 1st bloom. Every bloom opened perfectly, absolutely no splotching. Hoping it multiplies some next year. I can't say how well this one would do farther north, but it came through our colder than normal temps fine. Odd spring with record warm March followed by record cold April. Several daylilies did not do well in the spring, even some established ones, but Bengali did not even notice.
