I'm not 100% sure why I ordered this daylily except that it was close to purple. It has a small bloom and it's a short plant. I don't think I'll use it for my hybridzing program, but I'll put it in a display area.

8/2020 Update:
This plant has not put off scapes, but since it is a mid-late bloomer, it might need more time. It's also in the tiered planter with aggressive plants around it. It might need more sun to put off blooms.

8/2020 Update:This is another plant that has strong foliage, but hasn't put up a scape. The fans that arrived were very small so I anticipate they need more time to grow before I get to meet this one in person.

7/2022 -I haven't seen this one blooming my garden. Garden spot 6 has never bloomed and I lost the marker. I do remember planting very small fans in that spot. The spot has a few small fans this year. I will watch for one more year before planting something else there.
