adknative (Eagle Bay, New York - Zone 3b) on Apr 7, 2023 6:16 AM concerning plant:
'Barbary Corsair' was a gift, years ago, included on an order from Oakes Daylilies. It was small, both in bloom and as an overall plant ... 3 inches and 16 inches, respectively, in the stats...
I planted it into the gardens in a good location, with a full day of direct sun, and into compost (as I do every other plant and all other daylilies in the gardens). It bloomed modestly the first year, but came back in a smaller clump the next year, was barely hanging on the third year... and disappeared altogether at some point thereafter.
While I do successfully grow many daylilies here in zone 3 that are listed for warmer zones (including zones 5 and even 6), 'Barbary Corsair' did poorly here and then died (one of, literally, only a handful that has ever completely failed here). - As it was a 'gift' (and cost me nothing except time and space) I do not complain - but I would not recommend it for cold northern gardens.
