Char, I have two other daylilies with scapes--Nature Lover with 3 and Spice Market with 5.
In previous years, here are the actual first bloom dates:
2019-4/1 Orange Spice
2020-3/26 Can't Touch This
2021-4/9 Seedling 18-1
2022-3/27 Dutch Yellow Truffle
2023-3/28 Lavender Lighthouse
In none of these years were there repeat first time bloomers. In my garden, it's a different cultivar setting the standard each year.
