Heavy bloom with good rebloom.
Extremely pod fertile in my garden. Will make "bee pods" if you don't dead-head.
Very fast increaser.
Easy to find at most mass merchants.

Black Eyed Stella does not rebloom in my garden although it is listed as a rebloomer. Needs to be deadheaded to prevent setting numerous bee pods. This daylily usually starts out my bloom season somewhere around the 21-24 of June each year.

This plant was a good bloomer and rebloomer here in zone 8b--one of the earliest to bloom while I had it. Unfortunately, it was very susceptible to rust, so I had to get rid of it.
