I do love this daylily!
I measure the scapes this year at about 27" or 28" but when I grew it in partial shade, it was taller. I appreciate the green/chartruese throat and striking transition to royal purple on cool mornings. It is very dark- darker than pictures display- and there aren't too many good, dark rebloomers. I wish it had more branching; the bloom action all happens at the top. It's forgivable, though. Stately presentation.
