You can stop looking. It won't survive in your climate. It barely hangs on here in Tennessee. I suspect that's why so few people sell it. They've either lost it in bad winters, or it just didn't thrive for them.

Thanks Debra for the advice - I love how you veterans help us newbies!

Good Information. I've been wanting Crazy Ivan also. So if it doesn't do well in Tennessee, it probably won't do well here in North Texas either unless really hot weather is best.

Debra, also took your advice about Gain fabric softener sheets. Just finished tying to scapes. The smell is overpowering! (I myself use fragrance free sheets). Hubby went out to Tractor Supply last night to get Milorganite - but they were out of it. Pesky rabbits. I so appreciate all of your advice. I suppose I should make a list of my "Desired" DL and post here to see if they are compatible with my Zone 5. Everyone is so helpful.

It does well for me in Fairfield County, Ohio, surviving in pretty cold winter. I have two fan plants for sale, $12 plus $10 shipping and handling. I can put it on the Daylily Auction as a private sale or contact me via message here.

Dick - Mine was 10 fans and flourishing until the winter three years ago when we got below zero temps. It still hasn't recovered. I have only one scape this year our of seven fans, and that scape is 6inches tall with five buds. Last year I only had one scape.

Wow! I know I have had mine for over three years. I also have a Korth daylily with the same color pattern, but not the same eye size. Arnold's Daughter. $24 including s&h. Should be hardy. It has a better bud count than Crazy Ivan. Korth breeds for cold hardiness - he is in Wisconsin.
