Hybridized in Ohio, and introduced in 2004 by Jamie Gossard, Heavenly Angel Ice is a multiple award winner. Awards include the Stout Medal in 2013 (which is the highest award a daylily can get), Award of Merit in 2010, Lambert/Webster Award in 2009, and an Honorable Mention in 2007. There are already 50 registered child plants on the record, so it's quite popular as a parent. Love. This. Daylily.
If you are a northern gardener and don't grow 'Heavenly Angel Ice,' you really should. This plant is outstanding in so many ways. The blooms are thick and waxy, and they look perfect whether the temperature is 55 or 105 degrees. Heavenly Angel Ice is categorized as a UFO (Unusual FOrm) Crispate, which means that each bloom presents a little differently -- the flowers curl, twist, and twirl. The bud count is a remarkable 26-30. You can see from the photos how many buds are on my plant and I've only had it two years! Being a dormant diploid, it does very well in Wisconsin. In my yard, this daylily grows about 40" tall and the scapes never droop, even after a heavy rainstorm. It's a midseason-late bloomer that in 2017 bloomed from July 10 through August 14.

I just ordered 3 Heavenly Angel Ice from Roots and Rhizomes. Planting them in my white garden. I garden in Texas zone B. I hope my experience is as positive as yours!
