    I've been growing 'Eye Popper' in my zone 3 gardens for four years and have to say: this one just keeps getting better. Daylilies multiply slowly here, but Eye Popper has tripled its fans.

    The blooms are extremely consistent in shape and pattern, the toothed edge is always present, and 'Eye Popper' has never shown any sign of water spots. Scapes are sturdy / never flop. The blooms hold their colour well, even in afternoon sun. (And it's also fragrant.) This one, I think, is under-appreciated and deserves to be in more gardens.
