I bought Persian Market about 18 years ago when I lived in Newberry, FL. I saw it in the open sunlit fields at a daylily open house in Alachua, FL and had to take it home. I planted it in full sun in a raised bed filled with potting soil for my daylilies and roses. It increased well, scapes were over the foliage at a little over 2 ft tall. The color is mesmerizing - one of the happiest color combinations in existence - a coralish pink. My daylily bloomed closest to Vic's photo of it.

It broke my heart to leave it behind when our house sold and it is absolutely on my list to get again. I think it is my favorite of the Munson's from that era. I never saw a bad flower on it nor any sign of disease - fungus, nothing untoward.
