    Although this daylily is cold-hardy in zone 3, it almost never doubles here. Not sure if that is an effect of zone 3 being too far north for it, or if it's just that temperamental.

    And it is temperamental here... the longer I grow it, the more I tend to notice how often it fails to perform: the blooms seldom double but they also often fail to open fully, looking more like a green tunnel at the far inner core of the bloom / half-open bud. There are just so many other daylilies out there, when I do run out of room in the gardens this one will be one of the first to go.
