I am like the rest of you, I like all daylilies to be above the foliage a few inches. I think you have to look at the whole plant when it comes to scape height. Strength and hight of the scape, size of the flower, and the foliage all need to be in proportion. The daylily HB42 has a 6" bloom and the scape is only 20" tall. If it was on a 26-30 inch scape it would have been registered long ago. I have used this seedling for several years and it doesn't produce short scapes because half of the parentage is BOUNDLESS BEAUTY a tall daylily from Stamile. It is also very fertile both ways and I have used it with all colors and eye and edge. Here are a few that were new this year with it somewhere in the parentage.
