If you really like what you've got from this DL in the past, I would give it another try. (JMO) Right now a DF of CBP is on the LA for $6.00. There is also a DF of CBP offspring EXOTIC TREASURE which I have in my garden, and has been doing quite well. Might be worth giving that one a try as well. At least the cost to buy either of these CVs won't break the bank. :-)

Yum, EXOTIC TREASURE looks wonderful.

My problem is tight garden space. I don't want CBP at any price if he won't perform well enough to justify his occupying scarce real estate. Has anybody had good results from this daylily?

I live in your area, and don't have CBP but have Exotic Treasure and it bloomed its head off for me this year. After setting lots of seed pods I hope it does ok next year.

I have grown AWESOME BLOSSOM, BARBARIAN PRINCESS, BENGAL BAY, CANADIAN BORDER PATROL, EXOTIC TREASURE, OPEN MY EYES, PIRATES PATCH and THUNDERATION.

I still have BENGAL BAY, EXOTIC TREASURE, PIRATES PATCH and THUNDERATION, all the rest rotted. PP does rot a little each year.

EXOTIC TREASURE is the showiest. THUNDERATION is the best all-around plant. It is the only plant in the above group with good rust resistance.

Just my experience and may not apply to your zone.

Thanks, Dot and Ed. Nice to hear from people in the neighborhood, so to speak. Sounds like CBP isn't too happy in our heat and humidity -- too bad, because I like the name nearly as much as I liked the flower. It reminds me of my favorite radio serial when I was a kid, Sgt. Preston of the Yukon. Sounds like EXOTIC TREASURE is definitely a contender, and I'll check out Ed's other recommendations as well. Oh dear, more decisions.

I also have Awesome Blossom but it only bloomed the first year I had it. After several years I think it is time for it to go. Maybe I will send it north. Here is Exotic Treasure.

Wow, Dot, that's a stunning picture! EXOTIC TREASURE will definitely have to come live with me. But I'm also leaning strongly toward Joiner's THUNDERATION, although I literally have no more room. Maybe I'll get lucky and something else will die. :-)

LOL!

Well silly, thats why I grow mine in big pots LOL NO MORE ROOM!! Plus they are so easy to take care of and weed that way.
