This is the first full year i have had Dark Side and i believe it has added another fan and i got 4 scapes out of 4 fans and the blooms always open well. Not much branching going on and other than some cow manure when i planted it i did not fertilize so starting this fall when i do fertilize it may do better.
I think if rate of growth continues in 3 years i may have to divide. I have it in full sun against a picket fence. Sometimes the bloom was a dark purple and other times even darker like in the photo i posted.
It is definitely the darkest daylily i grow. On the flip side i also grow Ice Carnaval, all white. You might like another of theirs i know they have their own website.
After looking at the photo again i guess i does look just dark violet. Wish i could remember what time of the day i took that. I work a 40 hour week so unless it a weekend bloom i only see later afternoon blooms or early morning ones and then most are still trying to open up.
