Daylily (Hemerocallis 'Edge of Darkness')

Not one that stands out in our garden. I had to go back into my database and check. It is one I have marked for complete plant sale. It has not performed well here.

I no longer have it either, it did not perform well and eventually died.

I have had it for a long time, it isn't the fastest to increase, but it has formed a small clump and blooms every year in the mid to late season.

I've had this one for years. It had too much shade so I moved it and shared a piece with a friend. Now it's still settling in but I do love the bloom.

Mine has been neglected for a while now. I had meant to move it for years now. A lot of shade and competition have not hampered its existence in my garden. I'm in zone 5b or 6a Canadian zone map which I believe to be approximately 4b in US zones, maybe 5. Even in the poor conditions it still manages to bloom, not great but enough to still notice it.

Bloomed today

My biggest issue with this one is the color often splotches. Bud count is low. The edge isn't as defined as I would like. No rebloom as I can recall.
On the plus side it's one of the first to bloom.
