    Moussaka performs extremely well in zone 3. It produces multiple scapes with many buds per scape and begins blooming by the 2nd week of July. That may not seem like much but it continues blooming well into August - and still bloomed in September.

    Moussaka was the ONLY daylily in my gardens that was still putting out flowers in the 2nd week of October, giving its last blooms of the year during the same week I was planting my Asiatic and Oriental lily bulbs for next year. Absolutely amazing.
