Daylily (Hemerocallis 'Night Dreams')

I received a double fan from Ogden Station in May 2021. It was planted and by Fall 2021 had added a fan. I first saw bloom on July 15-26, 2022. Not very much bloom, I only caught 6 flowers. By October it had a slight case of rust and was down to two fans. Night Dreams was still only at two fans in April 2023 but managed to produce 14 flowers between July 10-26 ( same end date).

The flowers are small but pretty. They are slightly bigger than a mini but not much, on a very petite plant. The color is lovely, a good deep reddish violet with an almost black center. There is usually no streaking or blotching. I will be counting fans again in October, sure hope it will have grown a bit larger! At least there has been no rust in my garden this year so far.

I grew NIGHT DREAMS for years when I lived in Michigan. It was a "state of the art" flower back then having a really black eyezone. It increased well and I divided it to sell quite often. I really liked it. If you like smaller flowers this can be purchased very inexpensively. It looked like Zoia's photos with blemish free blooms and a great plant, too.

It's a beauty.
