    Tinley Park, IL — This plant is in its 3rd year in my landscape and it is HUGE. Hundreds (ok, I didn't count, but it seemed like a ton) of blooms and the most beautiful soft violet color. Started early June and is still going strong mid-July in my area. One of my favorites.

    Goodlettsville, TN — This is the first year for Chicago Arnie's Choice in our zone 6.5 garden and while we have not had a lot of scapes or blooms, the ones we have had are georgeous. Next year should be a spectacle.

    Spencer, IN — Big and glorious! Lots of blooms, but I noticed, however, that they were a little wilty in my hot and humid climate.

    Suwanee, GA — First year growing Arnie's Choice. Only one fan produced a scape which carried four blooms. (Next year should be great!). The picture here looks great but I think I like my blooms better.. ;) Understanding that all plants vary slightly, my plants produced blooms of extremely bright magenta with a soft yellow/green throat that fades into the petal as white. I've never seen a bloom like it. Perfect crisp colors! Highly recommended...

    McLouth, KS — This richly colored daylilly has performed exceedingly well for us during the last three years. Each growing season has been different-one really wet, another extremely hot and dry with this year being about perfect-and Chicago Arnie's Choice has survived all with grace. I have several clumps next to a pale pink daylilly and a bright pink monarda and the combination is stunning. Much recommended for the midwest!
