Yep it's gorgeous, and the photo color is completely accurate, but "Spiny Sea Urchin" is probably *the* most temperamental daylily in my garden. I have put up with this diva for many more years than I should have. It has had three different locations and still hasn't thrived. Last spring I moved it up by our house in a protected, southwest location close to a cement sidewalk for warmth. Since being moved there it has finally started to grow. This photo was taken last summer after the move. One last chance. If it doesn't come around this summer, I've had enough! As pretty as it is, this daylily will be ousted, and the clock is ticking.
Spiny Sea Urchin is a California-bred daylily, registered in 2003. Blooms are 5.5" and it grows about 27" tall. The famous daylily "Ed Brown" is one of the parents of Spiny Sea Urchin. Ed Brown has been temperamental for me, too. It must be a Wisconsin thing...these plants are longing for California. With all the cold April rain and snow flurries we've had lately, I'd like a Cali vacation, too.
