8/2020 Update:
Spiritual Gift came with the scape cut off the main fan. No other scapes have come up. She's evergreen so I'm not sure if she'll survive the winter here in zone 5a.

8/2020 Update:I was worried that this daylily wouldn't make it. It arrived with shriveled, dark brown roots and it was a small fan. It made it! The blooms are beautiful. The pollen is good and it set a pod. I'll be playing with this one. It's also diamond dusted. I love the shimmer in the sun!
