Description
Frans Hals was the old Dutch painter whose most famous masterpiece was The Laughing Cavalier. Can this be why Frans Hals was honored by the hybridizer with this Daylily? I think so. This super-bright bi-color seems to laugh in the garden. Big clearly bi-colored flowers flaunt rich reddish orange petals alternated with pure golden ones. This is a true classic Daylily that belongs in every garden.
About Daylilies, the most popular perennials: It all started with the original wild orange Daylily. Many Americans think the tough old orange Daylily they see in old gardens and along roadsides is a wildflower, but it really isn't. No Daylily is native to North America; most hail from Asia.
Don't confuse them with the true lilies: Daylilies are not really lilies. In fact, they are quite different. As you know, true lilies grow on tall stems with flowers at the top. Daylily flower stems (called scapes) are generally much shorter, and grow from a fountain of grass-like foliage at ground level. Daylilies are members of the genus, Hemerocallis, not Lilium, which is the genus name of true lilies.
Daylily Roots, not bulbs As all good gardeners know, Daylilies don't grow from bulbs like true lilies. Daylilies form a mass of thickened, fleshy roots. These unique root systems hold so much moisture and nutrients, the plants can survive out of the ground for weeks. This survival system, making them tough, and really easy to handle, is one of the reasons they're so popular today. They're also dependably hardy, so once you have them, you have them for years.
Types of Daylilies for today's gardens: The famous old orange Daylily and the well-known old Lemon Lily are not the only wild Daylilies, just the most famous. There are 20 Daylily species, worldwide. Today from those 20 plants, more than 20,000 hybrids have been created, to satisfy gardeners who love Daylilies, and just cant get enough. Hybridizing Daylilies for various colors and styles is not new. Famous old reliable hybrids like Catherine Woodbury--the lovely lavender and yellow bi-color--have been around for decades.
The re-bloomers for twice the bloom. Today's craze for re-blooming Daylilies all began with Stella D'Oro, the now-famous yellow dwarf Daylily that blooms once during late spring (the regular Daylily blooming season), and then again in late August and into fall. Today, there are hundreds of re-bloomers, from dwarfs to full-size beauties.
The latest and greatest: In any group of highly popular hybrids, there is always something newer and better. Some real break-through successes of new types for their times are Daylilies like Victoria's Secret and Big Smile, with elaborately ruffled petals and clear contrasts of magnificent colors.

Reviews
"Very pleased with everything ordered and shipping."
Absolutely amazing
"This reblooming lily is absolutely gorgeous in my mixed lily bed."
I would definitely buy these bulbs again from this company
"The bulbs were in good shape when I received them. I put them in the ground the next day and in a couple of weeks they were growing."
Scrawny plants, one didn't even leaf out
"Two orders of Frans Hals (total of 6 plants) were so small - seems they had been over-divided. I'd prefer to get one healthy plant per order. Of the six only one produced a single bloom, and another didn't even have a single leaf. I love Frans Hals & like to support New England companies but will look for another source."
Disappointed
"I planted these as bulbs last fall in with a variety of other day lilies. While they are supposed to be reblooming with a first bloom in spring and a second in fall so far I have not seen any blooms. I do have them mixed in with other day lilies which are already blooming so I can't particularly tell if these have even sprouted. But, there are a number of flower stalks with unopened blooms so maybe they will still make an appearance."
Already blooming
"Plants were just a small shoot when they arrived (as expected). They have been thriving and several are already blooming."
So far, so good
"As explained by customer service, due to Covid, the bulbs were shipped early. Add a longer and more wet Spring, I planted the bulbs in large flower pots and kept indoors. They were planted late May and miraculously, these bloomed! I would definitely buy more."
Superb daylilly!
"Attractive, long-blooming and carefree plant"
Very easy to grow
"Very easy to grow. I planted the bare root as directed in native soil mixed with a little compost and they greened up fast. They are starting to send up scapes. I think they'll bloom in late summer! They look very well established for new plants. Very happy with purchase."
HARDY STOCK
"These went into the ground late last fall and endured our brutal and long Ohio winter. The base greened up nicely this spring, but since our season is so delayed this year, I don't have my first blooms yet. But I can see that they are coming and I'm excited for them to arrive and add some glory to my garden bed under the living room window."
