Yes, I agree that ~3 1/2 feet is a good definition of tall. And, most of my tall daylilies are good scape artists. I do have one called 'Crooked' that has most scapes starting out horizontal:) I am hoping that it will do better when it matures... on the bright side, it is easy to deadhead with the lawn mower:)
Hemerocallis 'Crooked' 7/2022 Daylily D3- (Murphy, 2005) Tall orange Daylily , Mature plant size: 59in., Golden orange, with red eye. , USDA Hardiness Zone 3, Michigan Bloom Month 7a, In Garden Bed D3 for 325 DAYS (Murphy). Planted in 2021.
Murphy, 05 - 59" La 6" dor.dip. Reblooms. Every scape is crooked or loops. Golden orange, with red eye. Doubles about 30% to 50% of the time, with good conditions.
Completely distinctive, with 59" scapes, every one with a crook, bend, or even loop. You read that correctly. Nothing like it in your garden! Late bloom and good color, with green throat, complete the package. Scapes do lean, and twist, and some fall, but then grow toward the sun,with 15 buds, and 2 branches. Fertile, parents unknown. Exhibition Judges don't know what to do when this is on the show table.
2022 note: Scapes are crooked. However, some are laid out on the ground. Maybe this will improve as the plant matures.
