(variegated, double-flowered daylily) This plant, Hemerocallis fulva 'Kwanso Variegata,' is named following the guidance of the book, The Daylily: A Guide for Gardeners, by John P. Peat and Ted L. Petit. Having double flowers of orange, once it reaches flowering size a plant will spread quickly by underground shoots, so it requires effort to keep it within bounds. And it has been criticized for sometimes having sideshoots that are all-green. We notice this with our plants, and discard any all-green sideshoots when they first show in spring. In any case the plants we send will have striped leaves, so you will be off to a good start ! Cold hardy to -35°F.
