Daylily (Hemerocallis 'Rainbow Maker')

I have only had this one about 3 years so I am hoping as it settles in, it will do better. First year had 1 scape with about 4 blooms. Second year, did not bloom. This year I had 1 scape with about 8 blooms. It appears to be hardy to our winters and has increased some, but so far not a real prolific bloomer and scapes have been rather short. I am hoping this plant will do better after it becomes a nice clump.

I acquired a clump by getting this from two places this Spring. Great Expectations sent some and I picked up more from Cameron Stern at the NEDS Club sale. So in the Spring I had 11 fans, although I only counted 8 by October.

Rainbow Maker sent up a very late scape and squeezed out some very unattractive flowers from September 26 to October 16. I think there were 6 altogether. It was just too cold for them to open properly.
