Daylily (Hemerocallis 'April LaQuinta')

It can throw a number of large, beautifully ruffled and blended blooms. However, some blooms open badly or are more mundane. The height is nowhere near the registered height. The bud count, at best, is just acceptable (around 6 in this climate). Still, it remains here because when it is good, it is very good. It does multiply, but not rapidly.

It is beautiful here and has around 15 buds.It has some bad days but not often.Like Mantis says I keep for it's beauty.

Have to agree with the others on this one. Height not near as registered, nice bloom, opens well most of the time, does not multiple quickly
When it blooms well it is a daylily worth having ,it is in a non- needed space in my garden , so it will stay for now.

I will agree with what others have said about its height. It typically reaches 16 inches in my Zone 5 garden. I don't know what goes on with it in my garden, but it tends to bloom late in the season. I have to wonder if it suffers winter damage, so it gets set back every year. The scape typically has 6 to 8 buds. For the past several years, I've had it on the chopping block to go, but then it throws some gorgeous blooms. As Mantis said, some of the blooms are rather mundane. If it was a rapid increaser, it would go, but since it is slow to increase it sticks around until I find a suitable replacement.
