Daylily (Hemerocallis 'Blast from the Past')

Blast From The Past is a tall late blooming plant that literally hang out with the asters in my garden. I usually get a few poly blooms each year. It set pods. I have not tried the pollen in my garden. It is not the prettiest bloom but it blooms for a long time.

Nice tall daylily. Does well in Michigan.

Clement: BLAST FROM THE PAST's form can be described as a crispate trumpet, but does not mean the UF definition. Given that the form is reminiscent of cultivars introduced 40-50 years ago, one might question my sanity for introducing it. Start with the fact that BLAST FROM THE PAST is a very late and nearly the last cultivar blooming and add to the fact that it increases like a rabbit. A clump in bloom gives the appearance of yellow wedding bells.
