Daylily (Hemerocallis 'Soft Summer Night')

I bought this plant back in 2013, but I show no photos of it at all. I do remember seeing it in bloom, but I don't remember it from last year at all. I definitely need to check this year and see if it is still in the garden. I would have to say it has not performed very well, or I would have photos of it. I have a feeling it is another dormant that did not like the warm weather here. It was growing in a sunny location, but was rather on the dry side. With the droughts we have had in the past, that could have been more than it could tolerate.

It's a lovely eyed soft pink. Vigorous and reliable, though last year, along with many others, its performance was subpar. Differences in pictures probably reflect different lighting.

Soft Summer Night does exceptionally well here. High bud count and bloom for a long time. This one will always have a home here. I have a few more pictures on the PC that I will add later.
