Butterscotch Ruffles is blooming for me now. I just noticed that some information is missing about this cultivar. In my garden BR has 4-way branching with 21 buds per scape. Most flowers are held well above the foliage but I typically get a couple of extremely short scapes every year. It is also a rebloomer. Overall, a very good early bloomer.
That does not mean it always is perfect. I have two clumps of BR. One is blooming normally. The other clump has almost double the number of scapes. But the very rainy weather this Spring has caused buds to start blasting. In my garden BR needs a sharply drained spot with lots of sun to perform well.

'Butterscotch Ruffles' has a long bloom + rebloom season in my MI daylily bed. In 2022, FFO was before 6/23 and LFO was 9/24. The best early scape was 36 buds and 6-way branching in 2022. The average counts are somewhat less.

I love Butterscotch Ruffles. It is by far the earliest bloomer that I have. It has been blooming since June 5th and is still going strong! The flowers are a beautiful peach shade for me in NY. I originally bought it in NC, where the blooms were a deeper shade of orange bordering on tan. But it seems that most of my flowers are paler up north, despite being in full sun.
