It's made a wonderful clump here in SW VA. I've grown it for years and have been able to share it with friends as well as sell extra divisions several times. It is also a sentimental favorite, as I first met the hybridizer, Katiesue Herrington, and her husband, Tim, in the fall of 2009. What we didn't know at the time, was that Katisue had a virulent yet undetected cancer that would prove fatal several months later. When it won the Stout Medal a couple of years later, I was onstage when Tim tearfully accepted the award in Katisue's memory. There were very few dry eyes to be found in the house that night.Like many daylilies growing here, this brings fond memories of daylily friends when it blooms.
