Panache?

We have multiple Just Plum Happy daylilies in our gardens. Not once have we had a seedling from Just Plum Happy, much less a flowering seedling. In fact, the self seed pods usually fail. If any self seed pods open and the seed doesn’t look good, I just put it back into the area of the daylily, food for birds or whatever. But somehow either one of the pods let a self seed out before I saw the open pod, or one of the seeds I didn’t think was viable actually was. Or maybe a bunny or squirrel or sprinkler got the pod before I did and it made a seedling some time in the past few years and now this year it bloomed. In late September. What??? Crazy pants!!!

I seriously doubt it is a rebloom, as I don’t deadhead them, our Just Plum Happy daylilies have never rebloomed, and – it looks so different from Just Plum Happy.

It looks like a grandparent of Just Plum Happy, named Panache. So it shall be called Panache in our garden. And it shall stay, and be the new latest bloomer. Panache is a late bloomer, so …
