I've had great luck with Gilbert Wild. I never order the expensive fancy ones though, I'm usually getting the ones that are under $10. Most of mine have been pretty good sized fans and I've never had one that didn't come up. (what happens after that is my fault!) They always give you a freebie and some of those has been nice surprises. I'm not a daylily aficionado- I just buy them to put in places that need something besides weeds to fill the area. It seems to me the less fancy/expensive ones grow bigger faster and flower earlier and more vigorously. I have one I bought years ago that was labeled "Wine Red". I still haven't figured out what it really is, but I suspect possibly Autumn Red. It's gigantic despite being divided several times and is reblooming right now. I know that Stella is looked upon with disdain by some daylily lovers, but she blooms like there's no tomorrow!
