Daylily (Hemerocallis 'Best Kept Secret')

Have yet to see it bloom... again another new edition this past year. At this rate, and I will be making updates to the past plants forum for months, come next year Come on spring...

It has been year since it live here and the best I can offer is a photo of how it looked in my garden.

Best Kept Secret does well here in my zone 6 a gardens . I searched for a clump photo but could only track down an image with a single bloom . A lovely cheery peachy pink bloom that grows here to it's 28 inch description height .

Best Kept Secret is a good performer both in my landscape and in Victoria Educational Gardens.
I regret not keeping stats on my daylilies, but it begins blooming in mid-May and blooms for several weeks. It is rust resistant in our rust-prone climate.
