Daylily (Hemerocallis 'Aliquippa')

Received this one in Sept. 2017 as a gift plant from Oak Hill daylilies. It has bloomed here three years now and what stands out to me are the edges on the blooms. Terrific edges that are only accentuated if and when the bloom starts to fade. Easily fertile both ways. Passes that edging on to many of it's offspring. Is the parent of 'Competitive Edge' (Trimmer) and many other lovely edged and toothy daylilies. It has grown and multiplied here quite well and I am happy with it's performance.

I received Aliquippa in March of 2021 as a bonus plant in an order from a northern grower. It never did well for me. It struggled in its pot (which I kept out of the direct sun to give it a chance to adjust). It put up new foliage at first and then started to die back. Then it got rust. I cut it back and treated it, but the same thing happened again. I finally got rid of it this fall (2021). Maybe I didn't give it enough of a chance, but I wouldn't recommend this one for growers in the deep South.
