Have to go along with Pam (Gardenglory). Since a daylily is just that - a bloom that lasts for a single day, it should be colorfast (or close to it) and sunfast. If it fades out or whimps out by mid afternoon then it's only a half-a-daylily. Good bud count and rebloom capability are up there too, but if I get home in the afternoon or early evening and the daylily bloom is just a bleached out blob on a stick, why would I care about it doing the same thing the next day?.....BTW, your hybrid looks very pretty. Good combination with the Zinnia. Congratulations.........Maryl
