  • Posted by adknative (Eagle Bay, New York - Zone 3b) on Jan 16, 2022 10:31 AM concerning plant:
    I've only had Dewy Sweet for two years, but it has done very well here in zone 3. Unlike some daylilies, this plant has had zero issues with any rust or disease in the gardens. The blooms seem to be consistently a deep, rich "caramel cream with bright red eyezone above green throat" as described, though I see pics from other gardens where it is much more pale and more pink.

    It is double 'most' of the time but has single blooms on occasion. Smaller than the flowers of many daylilies, there is no fragrance that I can detect. Despite it's zone 5 listing, I find it very hardy here in zone 3. It's charming near the mid-fore section of the border and I would certainly recommend it.
