I haven't had any blooms yet for Night Beacon because it is one I've only had since September. I purchased it from 5 Acre Farms in Tolono, IL. (This was part of my second purchase from them -- Rod, one of the co-owners, is a great person.)

So far, it has grown well, despite some cold zaps recently. I still have to go out and bury the tag--and soon!--iIt looks like the leaves might bust out of the straps any day now and let the wind carry the tag away.

Personally, I think it's neat that Night Beacon is a descendant of Ciao, another cultivar I just recently purchased (from Oakes Daylilies). I'm hoping that means that there are some recessive genes for white edges in it that are just lying dormant and waiting to be hybridized with other white-edged cultivars.

I wish I could add more, but I don't have anything acorn-worthy to say about this plant yet. I'll try to remember to come back to this thread in the spring or summer of 2016 when it blooms (hopefully) for me.
