    I love this daylily! I added 'Gaia' to my gardens last year (2022) and it bloomed the very first year, virtually unheard of for colder climates. Zone 3 winter did not faze it at all, and this year the plant ... while still immature... has been blooming steadily for several weeks. 'Gaia' produces gorgeous flowers, always well-formed and with outstanding colour to go with the watermark. A real eye-catcher in the gardens.
