In the introduction year, A.B. Stout described it as:
" All of these clones have foliage that is dormant or semi-dormant, and all have proved fully hardy.
...
Four of these clones have small full-petaled flowers (figures 1, 2, and 3) mostly two to two and a half inches in spread. These clones differ in stature, in periods of bloom, and especially in the flower coloring.
...
The flowers of the 'Liebchen' daylily (figures 1 and 5) have a throat of golden-yellow, the blades of the petals are brownish red and only slightly darker in the mid-zone, and the sepals are less red than the petals. In 1954 the first flower on a plant of 'Liebchen' opened on June 16, but in 1955 the first flower on the same plant was open on May 12. "
