I believe they start white and finish a peachy color. I don't know if I would say snowbank is hard to grow, just very slow. I don't know if mine has grown 6 inches and I have had it for several months. Maybe once it gets outside it will take off.

I think Snowbank is a very difficult one. Grows VERY slow !
Just be careful with it and don't over water. I usually have have pretty good luck with blooms.... this one has NEVER bloomed for me. If it doesn't bloom this year, it's off to the compost pile :)

Go to BGI or ABADS gallery and they have good pictures of the blooms. Good luck !

Amelia I think it will do better in your area than mine. The heat isn't so brutal there. I know from everything I have heard it is reallllly slow growing so probably will take a long time to bloom. Good luck with it. I have killed way too many to try that one again. I might have to come back to Louisiana this weekend. I am really hoping someone will end up meeting me half way. I don't think I can handle a turn around trip again so soon but my plans fell through for my daughter to ride here with my sister and her dad is on call all weekend and can't meet me. Hopefully it will work out so I only have to go halfway. I love the day lily. It seems happy in its new home in our memorial garden. Thanks again.

Hi Amelia. Snowbank only bloomed for me 2 of the 6 years I kept it and the blooms opened white for me and stayed that color until they collapsed. I keep my brugs 'dormant' in a cool basement here and think Snowbank just didn't have a long enough growth season way up here.....or it just didn't like my soil, my yard....or maybe just me. It gave up the ghost after 6 years and while I loved the foliage, am not willing to devote space and effort to a brug that doesn't do well for me.
Hope you fare better than I did.

I can't remember if they start out white or pale peach but they end up a pretty peachy color. Mine has bloomed 2 out of 3 years so far & it was just about 5" tall when I got it. It was in a pot first & then planted in ground last year. I am going to plant it again in the same spot that got am sun & afternoon shade. It is a slow grower & under 3' but I still love the pretty leaves (all summer because it sheds them all winter).
