    I have a large clump of these and this year they started blooming in June and I had blooms constantly until the middle of September. Stalks are about 20 inches tall and the flower is about 4 inches. This is a beautiful shade of bright orange and it is a double flower.
  • Posted by Newyorkrita (North Shore, Long Island, NY ) on Sep 19, 2013 2:59 PM concerning plant:
    Condilla is one of the oldest daylilies in my garden. I have been growing Condilla for many, many years. It is steady and reliable. Condilla blooms well and puts on a pretty show every year.
  • Posted by Natalie (North Central Idaho - Zone 7a) on Jul 17, 2015 10:57 PM concerning plant:
    This is the daylily that got me to appreciate orange daylilies! It is a beautiful shade of orange, and I don't think I've ever had a bloom that wasn't a double. It always opens very well, and the clump blooms for a very long time. Increase has been great as well.
  • Posted by Joy (Kalama, Wa. - Zone 8b) on Dec 3, 2011 5:39 PM concerning plant:
    Double flowered sunny gold self with good consistent form like a carnation. Black anthers, serrated edge petals and well branched scapes. Free flowering. Every flower perfectly formed and no crowding of blossoms. Low, compact plant habits, Superb foliage, easy pod parent, fertile pollen. Increases better in hot weather than cool.
  • Posted by LivinEZ (Bucks County PA - Zone 7a) on Sep 1, 2020 4:50 PM concerning plant:
    One of my favorite doubles. Consistently taller in my Bucks County PA garden than the listed 20 inches. Has reached 30-36 inches every year for four years.
  • Posted by DeweyRooter (southeast Georgia - Zone 8b) on Jul 27, 2022 2:57 PM concerning plant:
    Condilla blooms beautifully and also reblooms for me here in zone 8b.

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

    Nice bright yellow double. On the short side at 20 in.
