In recent years, orange once more is one of the most popular daylily colors. 'Awesome Gem' is named for the popular globetrotting, feisty gelding horses, a winner of many races, who is both awesome and a gem. His name describes his flower, a clear, round, red-orange-red self with a lighter watermark and a small green throat. Although the sepals are a few shades lighter than the petals, we do not consider it to be a bitone. Tiny, gold pleated ruffles complement the petal edges. The texture is smooth, and the color and substance hold well throughout the day. There are only a few available. This is a reliable rebloomer in zone 6 and a strong performer.
