I originally purchased Strawberry Candy from a big box store and then gave that plant away because I thought the coloring was off. In 2018, I purchased the plant from Cheryl Day ($4 in 2022 on her site -
http://www.cheryldaylilies.com...). I think the coloring is a little more pink on the new plant.
It has multiplied from a double fan to over 20 fans in just four years. No rust here in zone 6b. It blooms from about mid-June to mid-July.

Branching and bud count seem to be low, but I haven't really counted. I think the branching was better in 2021. I also think the height was better in previous years, but 2022 was an off year because many of my daylilies seemed to be shorter this year.
7/2/2022 - most scapes seemed to be top-branched in 2022.
6/17/2021 - height and branching seemed to be better in 2021.
The color does fade throughout the day. This picture is from 2020 and it is still a pretty small clump, but really exploded in the last two years.

9/24/2020 - Got a rebloom scape in 2020, but don't think it has done this since that year. This picture was also taken in the evening, but with the cooler weather, the color didn't fade as much. Still looks pretty good!
As Dave mentioned, it will poly occasionally, which is fun to find.
All in all, it is a nice garden plant with pretty blooms.
