This is a lovely cultivar, a strong grower here in zone 8b. It also produces proliferations. Unfortunately, it is also very susceptible to rust, so I don't recommend it if you garden in the "rust zone"--unless you spray fungicides.

Little Print is not a fancy daylily, but it has been a very good performer here in my 8b garden. It has increased from two to six fans in three growing seasons. It is taller than the registered height here. It is pollen fertile--I have not tried setting pods on it. You may notice that the eye differs in appearance in the posted pictures. Here its pattern has been that the eye is dark on first bloom and very pale ("washed magenta" from description) on rebloom. Most important has been its strong rust resistance. Little Print is an "oldie but goodie."

This is an excellent plant, one of the most vigorous, floriferous, and rust-resistant daylilies I grow here is zone 8b. Strongly recommended!!

Raspberry Ripple Cupcake is deserving of its many awards. It is very rust-resistant, and it's a blooming machine here in zone 8b. Strongly recommended for southern growers.

This older cultivar has been a favorite of mine. It is an astonishing grower, becoming a large clump in its first year here in zone 8b. It produces profusions of lovely blooms of rusty red, orange, beige, and yellow. It has been very rust-resistant as well, once showing some rust as it was about to die back in winter but not at any other time. I think this one deserves to be more popular.

I strongly recommend Insider Trading for southern growers. It has thrived in my zone 8b garden. It increases quickly, sends up gorgeous red blooms on strong scapes, produces lots of proliferations, and best of all--has not shown a speck of rust in my garden.

Even though this cultivar is unregistered, it has outperformed many in my zone 8b garden. It is a true evergreen, increases fast, is very rust-resistant, and sends up scads of large, luminous greenish-yellow blooms every summer. It's hard to capture that luminous color in a photo. It also reblooms very reliably. I strongly recommend this one for growers in the South.

I grew Pumpkin Kid for one year, fall of 2021 to fall of 2022. During that time, it was a fast increaser, and it bloomed prolifically in its only season here. The blooms were lovely and showy, just like the pictures here. The downside is that the scapes were short, and the blooms were low in the foliage. However, in spite of that, I would have kept the plant if it hadn't shown itself to be very rust-prone here.

Condilla blooms beautifully and also reblooms for me here in zone 8b.

It occasionally gets a bit of rust, but it is not excessive.

I do not recommend this one for southern growers. It struggles in hot weather and is rust-prone. It never bloomed for me.
