Algonquin, IL (Zone 5a) | July 2013 | positive

I find the color variations in PlantFile pictures to be interesting. Apparently this Daylily can really vary depending on the conditions...Read More

Hazard, KY (Zone 6b) | May 2012 | positive

Beautiful daylily. Nice medium sized plant with medium blooms. Light purple w/raspberry interior and yellow throat. Prolific bloomer in my garden!

L
Portland, OR | July 2008 | positive

A strong bloomer and I like the mauve color. It blends really well with burgundy foliaged plants.

D
Harris, MN | April 2006 | neutral

Large flowering, prolific bloomer, but the color was kind of "muddy". May be my soil or growing conditions, but I gave most of mine away.

G
Milwaukee, WI (Zone 5a) | January 2004 | positive

Garden standout for its strenghth of color, number of blooms per day and blooms for many weeks. One of my many favorites.

D
Niagara Falls, NY (Zone 6a) | October 2003 | positive

Not my kind of flower, either, but what a great breeder! Readily passes a super-round form, good bud count and great leaves.

P
Harwinton, CT | October 2003 | neutral

Good grower, hearty and good blooms, but flower not to my liking - just OK for me.

P
Westbrook, ME (Zone 5a) | May 2002 | neutral

Morss 1989; Rose-mauve with deep purple eye and green throat, 22 inch scape, 5.5 inch bloom
