Does anyone here have this daylily? If you do, is it really as good as advertised? I REALLY want to get it, but it is just much too expensive right now, but if it really that good--maybe I could figure something out.

My experience with daylilies that cost more than I can really afford.... well, some of my favorites or cheapies I paid $5 for, they perform just as well and for the money I have been disappointed in the costlier ones. I like to wait until a daylily has been around a while to see what others think and if the price drops. My idea is that a daylily that stays pricey for several years is probably not a prolific increaser. You have to make sure also that it will perform well in your zone. I have some EV DOR, and some SEV but I prefer the SEV where I am, they perform better for me. ( or should I say, where they are, in MO)
maybe someone else will have some specific info on the one you are interested in.
dspack.. I have this daylily & it is a great daylily to cross several great daylilies, You can cross it with..
1.Violet becomes you.
2.Crazy Ivan.

It does best with any dark eyed daylily, I spent over $5,000
on Daylilies last year & have several more comming this spring.

Good to know, Roseman. We have it coming in the spring from the Gaskins. We have noticed that Floyd Cove has used BRW a lot in their hybridizing program, and it has made some very beautiful offspring.
Another great daylily to use on the dark eyed Daylilies is Tal Of Gascone. I bought a triple fan of it for $279.00 & another new dark eyed that I just bought is called..IAM BIGTIMER I bought if from Nicole Harry-Devito & I have 2 plants of The Dark Side from 2 venders.
We have Tal Of Gascone coming in early April from Nicole. I must jot down some crosses to try this summer. Thanks for the information.
