    I've had Black Mountain since 2016. It has not done well for me and I'm not sure why. It is in a raised bed with several other daylilies that all have done better. It has only bloomed three years since I've had it. While it is not crowded by the other daylilies I'm tempted to dig it up and place it in a container to see if that helps. It worked with Carpenter Shavings and has performed very well since being placed in a grow bag. It last bloomed in 2020 so I'm hoping it blooms this year as the fans look good.
