Margaret, I've had horrible luck getting the right plant from those boxes, and I've got oodles of ugly plants to show for it. I'll never figure out the name of them either as most of them are so ugly that I can't even decide what color they are! Is icky a color? haha! The last box I bought about three or four ago was supposed to be two different daylilies, but again, I got the wrong one. This time though, when they bloomed, they were all Crimson Pirate, which I love! I've promised myself that I'll never waste money on them again, no matter how pretty the picture is! At least yours is really pretty, even if it's not the right one.
Betty, I think Rocket City has a perfect name! It shoots up like a rocket! It's the tallest one I have, other than the ditchlilies, which seem to have outdone themselves in the height department this year. I'm usually not a fan of orange, but Rocket City really stands out! I wish I could figure out how to get it's height on some of my shorter ones. It's also had better blooms on it than any other daylily in my garden this year, so it's getting a lot of attention from me!
