Daylily (Hemerocallis 'Laughing Giraffe')

I bought this over the winter and planted it this spring. I think it settled too much for when I snooped to find the crown, it was over two inches deep. I recalled the thread that talked about daylilies pulling themselves too deeply, which had me curious about this one as it was the only plant in the order that didn't bloom. The foliage looks really good though Gonna dig it up and resettle it and hope for bloom next summer...

I bought LG in 2015 and it had many blooms on it this year. Best year yet for blooms. It did not reach the registered height for me but I love it anyway. Very impressive and noticeable flower. I love those bi-tones.

I purchased Laughing Giraffe in Madison, WI at the Daylily sale August 2019. It bloomed yesterday for the first time. It is such a fun Daylily to have! The name fits it to a tee! I don't know how it will perform but I'm very happy with it right now and just had to share my delight when I saw this opportunity.
