I purchased Novelty Number in 2017 from E and B Farm and it has been in the same location in my garden since. Though I don't keep records of scape height or bloom size, I know the bloom was not as large its first season as it is now. Unfortunately I also have a large deer population and all my daylilies are routinely chewed no matter what I use as a deterrent. However, Novelty Number is also one of my favorites for its vibrant red, yellow, green and orange colors. It has shown no rust, has developed into a good clump and looks great with nearly every other color plant.
I am moving all the daylilies from the "deer buffet" to inside our dog yard this Fall/Winter/Spring and am hoping to see a much larger show from Novelty Number, as well as all the rest, next year.
