Daylily Rebloom, Mid September
It's a shame Cleopatra is less hardy than its siblings Wild Horses (ok in Z6) and Volusian Spider (itself
maybe a bit tender north of Z7). I got it from Florida this year; I'll mulch it well this winter and hope it's a mild winter. Because it's a spectacular addition to the garden.
September 12 crop includes (top row) Siloam Plum Tree, Cleopatra, New Perspective (see below), Sunset Returns, Big Time Happ
y, Happy Returns and Stella. New Perspective is its first rebloom, so it gets credit for trying even if not perfect.
Sunset Returns' color is not everybody's cup of tea, but the edge is interesting, AND it generates the returns to make it a good investment.
On September 13, Cleopatra put out a bloom on each of its 3 scapes. And there are still 15 buds to open. Point of View and Rosy Returns bloomed too, with Happy Returns and Big Time Happy, but Cleopatra is the star of the day!
