I planted this twice, once in 2018 and once in 2019, tiny shriveled fans from G Wild. They are both on Upper Daylily Hill, which gets shade all morning. I started to see bloom almost right away ( after a year of settling in). Last year, ES bloomed from July 18- August 12 making it a ML in my yard. This year, it bloomed from July 6-31, a little shorter bloom time, due to heat and drought conditions.
