'Dragonfly Dawn' is one of the most important daylilies in my garden as far as hybridizing for patterns. I purchased a dbl. fan in 2012. Since then, it has expanded to 9 fans. However, because it is an evergreen, it can be tender here. In my zone 4 garden, it is the last to make its appearance in the Springtime after a long cold, snowy Winter. It has a mind of its own, which can be scary at times. Once it starts to grow, and the ground gets warmer, its fine. I keep it fertilized heavily in the Spring with 'alfalfa meal'. This summer the plant sent up 2 scapes with 12 buds, which is not that many. Each bloom is different in color variation from the last one that bloomed as far as the pattern goes, making 'Dragonfly Dawn, a most unusual plant. The blooms are gorgeous. Setting pollen on it is easy, and the pods are huge. It bloomed for a full 3 1/2 weeks here in July, mid season.
