Love this one. I received this as a bonus last year but the name tag on the bonus plant was not Leprechaun Kiss. I wasn't sure whether I would like the bonus, so I just put it in a medium size planter. No blooms last year.
Over the winter I purchased Leprechaun Kiss from Northern Lights which arrive this Spring.
June 30th first bloom on bonus plant received the year prior, and it was not as tagged, but rather Leprechaun Kiss. So now, I likely have two. But that's OK. I like everything about it.
The bloom itself has a nice pattern and blend of colors. Initial blooms were of a deeper/darker color, likely cooler weather related. Subsequent blooms were lighter in color. I note that the hybridizer describes the color as pastel. Either way, I liked the look of the bloom.
Produced four scapes this year, blooms above the foliage and bloomed most of July. It is also pod fertile and is currently doing well holding a ton of pods. Overall, even though it's a relatively new plant, it's one I highly recommend.
In just one season of flowering, it has moved to my Top Ten of blooms I want to see every summer - daylilies I cannot walk by without taking a picture, and patterns I want to pass along to daylily kids in the gardens. And yes: it has turned out to be both pod and pollen fertile (although Northern Lights and / or Nordstrom note it as just pod fertile).
