Background history:

'Confessions of a Hemaholic' is a dormant tetraploid introduced in 2013 by Judy Davisson. Judy is also known as "Davi" here on ATP! Check out her website for more of her beautiful daylily creations: http://www.picturetrail.com/da...

A wonderful interview with Judy can be found here: http://hemaholicsanonymous.blo... as well as this short video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?...

Juli started a thread about Judy Davisson: The thread "ATP Series: The Daylilies of Judy Davisson" in Daylilies forum

Confessions of a Hemaholic is a mid-season to late bloomer with possible rebloom. It is listed as pollen fertile.

This plant can be found in the ATP Plant Database at:

This daylily is soooooooo good and is another of my favorites. The blooms are HUGE and yet always open perfectly due to spectacular scapes with wide spaced branching. It sets seed like crazy, even on hot days in full sun. It seems to stay in bloom forever, reliably giving a show day after day for weeks on end like so many other of Judy's wonderful creations. I have a weakness for striking watermarks and this is one of the best. Perfectly hardy and multiplies steadily in my zone 6a garden. Pictures do not do this one justice. This is one of my "I am so glad I bought this" daylilies!

Confessions!

One of the finest daylilies I grow! It is dramatic, huge and spectacular. Is a huge pod maker here, especially as the season progresses. My most kept pod parent in all my keeper seeds. Will see a bunch of kids next season.

Davi knocked it outta the park with Confessions.

This was new from Judy last spring - bloomed well but scapes hadn't reached their mature height yet. Can't wait to see it blooming this season, know it will do as beautifully as all of Davi's do here. Because scapes were short, images ( regrettably) tags are showing in some pictures. Will do better this year!
