Primal Scream, absolutely love the name, the color...that bold, glowing, intense orange, form and plant. Still remember the first time I saw Primal Scream. Years ago while on a regional tour the bus pulled up to a tour garden and there it was...a huge blazing orange clump of Primal Scream. I remember thinking how striking it was growing with the dark purple perennial in the bed, to bad it was orange. At that time I had filled my garden with pinks, purples, eyed cultivars, a few near whites and yellows trying to get away from ...orange. Orange reminded me of the ditch lilies growing on the bank down front and we already had more than enough of those. The memory of seeing that clump didn't fade, thankfully my dislike for orange did and I found myself the proud owner of a double fan in 2004.
Primal Scream is one daylily I have never worried about here in zone 4. Comes up in the spring, puts on a spectacular show in July and then settles down for a winter nap. It does increase slowly, but once you see a clump of it blooming you will never forget it!
