This is a really good plant for me here in the UK. It is my favourite daylily in my whole garden. It is grown in a very large pot in dappled shade in my sheltered north-facing garden in Northern England. It flowers well for me and increases well. Has been divided several times.

I think maybe the smaller ones benefit from being grown in containers as when I have tried them in the ground they don't seem to do as well, maybe there is too much competition from weeds, couch grass, mice etc.

It is a soft lavender purple here and the eye is blue here but it is definitely the right cultivar as one year we had very hot weather and it lightened up to the pink with chalky eye that the other photos show. A very pretty plant.

Easily fertile both ways here even in heavy rain. Can't comment on rebloom as nothing reblooms here, our growing season is just too short.
