Thank you all for those kind words. I would love to see Karol's daylilies growing in an average gardener's beds like, for example, Stella D'oro, Purple D'oro, and the like. Many of her daylilies rebloom--even in the North--are bone hardy, and have good bud count and branching.

Karol has achieved an amazing uniformity in her program, where the scapes are very sturdy and the blooms are borne just above the foliage. You'll see this in some of my photos above. Nowhere in the beds do you see a daylily thrusting its scape and flowers above the others. Those gardeners who like to see taller scapes that sway in the breeze likely won't find them among Karol's offerings.
