I have realized that not all daylilies outperform every single year. This is partly due to ( I believe) weather, how hard they "worked" the previous year and a bunch of other factors. Ones I had on this list in 2013 are not necessarily ones on my 2014 list. My top performing daylilies this year are:
Pumpkin Bandit - this yearling in my garden has been blooming since Memorial Day. And it is still going strong. I can't wait until it gets larger and clumps up.
Holly Dancer - a consistent over performer. It makes this list every single year.
God's Gift To Warthogs - it took this plant several years to settle in, and was spectacular this year, and in fact has a half dozen blooms that have opened this morning. Never expected this one to do so well.
Honorable Mentions: Lilting Belle, Buttered Popcorn and Fire King, + a mini flower that I need to figure out its name (squirrels stole the tag)
I will post photos when I get on my desktop later.
