    Often in the top 10 popularity poll of AHS Region 6 (Texas and New Mexico) since its introduction in 1985, 'Little Orange Tex' is a wonderful evergreen landscape daylily. Although the flowers are small at 3-1/2", high bud count, multple branching, sun/wind/rain proof flowers, and rust resistance contribute to its appeal. Rebloom scapes are typically single branched and usually appear 2 months after the main flower period given adequate fertilzation and moisture.
