Would love recommendations for late flowering tall purples. I have my eye on Stargate Portal and Upgrade but they don't appear to be commercially available this spring.

Playpal, by Jim Murphy ( ML UF Cascade, 45" 9")

Crazy Cat Lady by Elaine Seifert ( LARE UF Spatulate, 42" 8.5" )
It still may be hard to find.

CreepyWeird by Brian Reeder ( MLRE 42" 6" )
Still fairly new, no pictures yet. May still be hard to find.

I'm in the Mid - Atlantic. These would do well most. Everywhere except the Deep South.

How about these tets? They have the purplish-blue impression that Stargate Portal gives. SP is not that tall. These may or may not be easily accessible at this point in the season...

Alone Again


T-Bone Walker


Royal Girls


Deep Dark Secret


Mister Mayor


Still The One


Mary Ann Naranjo (not as tall but hardy-ish evergreen)

Ok, just thought of another- Late for me, and a very branchy is the tall-but-wiry dip Ocean Depths


Also, Laura Harwood which, too, is registered as midseason but is mid-to-late in my garden. She is just getting started here, behind all the others. Not especially tall, though.


And easily located Wilson Spider gives a lavender impression and is later than others. Not very tall.


WS child Small World Stained Glass is taller and darker, but can flop in the semi-shade.

Check out Woodhenge Daylilies for what Jim Murphy has to offer.

Thanks for the suggestions! These are beautiful!

I would suggest Getting Airborne (Gossard, 2006) :
10.5" flower,
56" scape.


The problem: NOT a late one. Mid.
Hmm....

Ok,
Focus (Murphy, 2010).
39" scape
7" flower
Mid-Late


Black Panther (Gossard, 2012).
44" scape,
9.5" bloom,
Mid-Late

I recommend Paul Voth if you live where rust is not a problem for you. It's 36" and late. I loved it, but it was rust-prone here.

My recommendation is JAY FARQUHAR- a Carpenter cultivar. It is the latest bloomer in my gardens up north, gives lots of blooms over the month of August, is above registered height and is pretty

I have to 2nd Paul Voth (Oakes daylilies), although I consider it to be a mid-late. The color is hard to capture in a photo, but it is luscious. A big plus is that unlike most dark colors in my climate's heat, it's pretty colorfast.......BTW, I see Upgrade listed at Cottage Gardens in New York if you want to try that source..............Maryl
Paul Voth:

Under the Wire by Murphy. I have forgotten how to share photos in the plant database.

Petal Pushers sells Upgrade and Stargate Portal for very reasonable prices, plus check out Westbourne Broken Hearts--that a nice looking one, quite dark.

Nice find, Avedon! Hurry, @Sweetbay! Looks like the Seiferts may only have one left of each!

Petal Pushers still has Stargate Portal available, I've purchased from them in the past and they send nice plants.
