Sometimes, I'll admit to being puzzled about why such ancient daylilies are being evaluated. I grew this for about 15 years but that was at least 15 years ago. I grew it for the historical perspective , as it had won the SSM back in the day. At some point, I donated my entire Stout Medal collection to our club when we created an AHS Display garden at the Garden Council center. In fact, I took them all -about 60 -I had them all, and planted them there in chronological order. As I remember, this was one of the first cultivars I grew to exhibit "summer dormancy." It would bloom and then During really hot summers, the foliage would completely disappear. The first few times, I thought it had died but then a tuft of new leaves would always reappear each fall. Remembering it was good enough to win the Stout in its day, I found that in comparison to newer pinks, the color looked washed out and the foliage was ratty. LAst time I walked through the Display bed, they were all still alive there.
