My grandfather Lee Gates named this daylily after me, his first grandson. I have several in my yard, and they are a very hardy plant with several beautiful blooms each year. No daylily garden would be complete with these beautiful reds in them.

Beautiful shade of red that makes you stop and look. Large blooms – a real beauty. I live in the Houston, Texas area and this lovely daylily holds its color, one of my favorites

So pretty. Was the very first to bloom (planted it in April) and has 2-3 open blooms daily. It is planted beside of my steps so I see it every time I go in and out of the house. Good foliage. Of course I don’t think I have ever seen an ugly daylily bloom. You won’t go wrong on this one.

This is my favorite red in our garden. It never disappoints. The blooms look larger than the 6″ shown and are several and bloom for several weeks. This is simply a great daylily.

One of the most wonderful ‘bloomers’ I have. It blooms early and just keeps on with lots and lots of blooms. Can’t wait for it to be ready to divide. Love it.

This was a gift from a friend. You can’t go wrong with this daylily. I had so many blooms in 2005 I can’t wait for this summer to enjoy this one again. I highly recommend this one for the beginner.

This flower is an eye catcher! A beautiful red and although it is a prolific bloomer I always want more. I now look forward to another fantastic showing when it reblooms. What a joy. I may have to order another. Double my pleasure.

Does not look like the photograph here. It is a much darker burgundy as in the description. Still, it is a very lovely flower, just darker than I expected to see. Prolific bloomer.
