At one time, I had several Daylilies from the 1930's, but... Most of
them Got Rust And Died. I have one good grower left that is from the 1930's.
Shown is AZTEC GOLD (Dennett, 1936) on rebloom during 2012. This is a very early blooming Daylily
and it reblooms. It can Rust, and I hope it does not do Got Rust And Died like the rest of my 1930's Daylilies.
I have grown it 14 years, and it gets a Rust Resistance Grade C for spots it would be more prone to Rust, but some plants
I moved to another location so far would get a Rust Resistance Grade of B. I hope that holds up.
Here is a look at a couple wet blooms of AZTEC GOLD (Dennett, 1936) taken June
6, 2009. This was the third set of scapes.
