I bought a few on sale from Schreiner's three years ago. One of them bloomed yet that season, and the flower didn't look right. They offered to replace it right away, but I decided to give it time to settle in first. By this year, it was obviously not the right plant, and I let Schreiner's know, asking if they could tell me what I actually had. They did not know the identity of the NOID, and I thought we left it at that. Then yesterday this arrived. A nice surprise!
As for the plants not being cold hardy, I've not found that to be the case. The only one out of that bunch that did not prosper for me was Double Cherries Duet, and I think perhaps the groundhog ate that one. I know that Ginny G. (Legal lily) grows DCD in her Iowa garden, where it does well.
Most of my Schreiner orders have been for iris. I've never had any issues with the company. As hot as it's been, I appreciate that this daylily was not bagged in plastic even though the shredded paper dried out. I'd rather have them a little yellowed instead of poached in its own juices.
