I have a huge amount of Curt's daylilies. They now are older. He has been known as the king of the purples. Doesn't like midribs, doesn't really like the fancy edges. Likes 'selfs' in good exotic colors. So do I, therefore, my collection!
Many are SE. You live in Mt. Some of those purchased were too tender for my unusual climate on the ocean north of Boston so I hate to recommend.
However, HE WILL HELP if you call him. He loves to talk plants. Call after dinner. He works in his gardens as long as there is light out there!
