They are definitely different. LOL Strawberry Candy is more orangey and has an edge.

yes have both of them i hybd. them useing both as pollin parrent and pod with some good results.

Actually in my garden it is pretty hard to tell them apart by comparing the pink/orange thing. Sometimes Strawberry Candy is very pink and other times it is not. Also I think that the red on Strawberry Candy is usually a bit more noticeable than on Elegant Candy. However, I think the best way to tell them apart is by comparing the throat color. SC is more golden and EC is more green. The throat on my EC is quite distinctive. Hope this is of some help, what with soils and weather conditions making such differences in daylily colors. :o)

Here is a picture of Strawberry Candy on a well established plant. I have been told that it is darker pink than alot of SC but it may help you decide on who is who. I do not have EC so cannot post a picture of it for you to compare. Perhaps someone else can do that for you. Hope this is helpful.

Hi Darla, maybe photos of the two cultivars side by side will help you see the difference in them.
These were taken in my garden.
