I have joked that 'Primal Scream' got its medal for the foliage more than the bloom. Along with all but one daylily, it had its second year here. I consider it to be one of the top four plants at this point. The foliage is the best of any daylily and has looked good for the entire growing season. I keep bloom dates from beginning to end, but don't count buds. In 2014 with three stalks it had first bloom on June 07 and the last on June 25; in 2015 with four stalks it started May 31 with the last bloom on June 25. No rebloom. It has great garden presence, especially in sunlight. With the large, vivid blooms it doesn't require too many to have an effect. Like all my plants, it's in a container. In this case a really large, heavy clay container. It's not increasing as fast as others, but the foliage is so full and sturdy it still makes a full clump. Here's a photo taken from a distance showing some of the foliage characteristics with the bright bloom in sunlight.
