Bela Has been a moderate grower for me. Scapes are thick and strong and produce many buds (I don't keep track of bud counts). It's a nice dark grape purple in the morning that fades to a red-purple in the sun by late afternoon. I have it growing with Dracula, Nosferatu, and Killer, all dark reds and purples. I don't have the deep rich colors on my dark daylilies like I used to have and I believe it's because of the soil. I lived in Ohio for a few years with clay loam soil where the colors seemed darker and more rich, but now in the sandy loam of Michigan they seem less so. But Bela still looks nice, especially in the morning before the sun fades it along with many of my other darks.
