Re: daylily offsets?

Len,

what was the parent plant also an orange double? If so, it sounds like Kwanso or Flora Plena, a truly vigorous plant - it can out compete blackberry brambles!

Several years ago, one of my common daylilies produced an offset.  I
planted it to see what would happen.  The following summer the plant was
huge.  Two summers later the plant grew to be 3-4 feet tall with a 5-6
foot flower stalk and the orange flowers were a double/double.  I call it
Len's Quad because of the 4 layers of petals.  The plant is also very
vigorous and spreads rapidly by runners.
