(Evening Enchantment x Mrs. John Cooper)

Consistency is what this daylily is all about. Beautiful coloration cannot be captured with a picture. DOES NOT WATERSPOT, holds color well, nice tall well-branched scapes proudly hold consistently well-formed blooms. Very good increase.  Not the most flashy bloom in the garden, but we very quickly realized it's subtle perfection and why Jack decided to introduce this plant.
