These plants bloomed very quickly after planting early last summer and came back great this year with many more blooms. Able to tolerate a hot, sunny location in my yard where many other plants burn up without much watering. Very pleased!

I love these plants. Not like ordinary daylillies that only bloom once or twice. These bloom all summer long and tolerate Oklahoma's rapid weather changes. The blooms are long lasting and never ending. I now have my family and neighbors planting them, and will divide my this year to give to friends.

I can't say enough about how great these daylillys are to grow. They bloom their hearts out, they are virtually care-free and make wonderful borders for the sunny garden. Love them, love them, love them.
