Coral Majority is wonderful late bloomer. The unusual color always attracts attention

Is it blooming for you right now?

I received Coral Majority last year, and it has multiplied very quickly into a nice size clump. It is a very unique color that I lke very much. CM bloomed late on strong thick scapes with a good amount of buds. It didn't rebloom for me, but had a very high scape density. I was able to set a few late pods on it.

Coral Majority starts blooming in July here, and with rebloom, often blooms into August and September.

Debra - I didn't realize that I had already given you an acorn for your evaluation. So you lucked out and got 2 acorns from me for this cultivar featured.

This is a really nice overall daylily. It retains a good amount of color until late in the day despite temperatures in the 90's and in a pot has been very winter hardy even making it through the bad winter of 2012-2013. Last year for some reason a newly divided plant sent up multiple scapes of doubles which were REALLY nice looking. Another backbone daylily in my garden...........Maryl

I just received Coral Majority a couple of months ago as a bonus with a couple of other purchases. I placed it in an old leaky horse trough with some good soil along with the other daylilies I ordered. Everyone seems to be growing well and I can't wait until I get through my 2nd knee replacement (first was Sept 24, second is Dec 8) and well enough to prep some new areas for my daylilies gotten this fall. Then comes spring! and I'll be able to see the color of this daylily and let you know about its habits here in North Florida.

I've had Coral Majority for several years. I have it planted in a very bad area (directly under a large tree) and despite the lack of full sun and root competition CM has been a very reliable bloomer for me. Being shaded in the afternoon, the flowers hold their color very well. It is definitely a late bloomer for me (mid-late July) and has never rebloomed, but considering the conditions this isn't unexpected. I'm actually amazed it does so well for me. This is definitely a daylily I would recommend just for its hardiness in less than ideal conditions.

I bought this one from Petal Pushers in 2017. If memory serves, it did bloom its first year. I recall it being gorgeous year 2. It got dug to share and move in fall 2018 (bloom numbers suffered), and moved again last summer. It settled in really well in its new home, even though it was transplanted in the middle of the summer heat. Stats match the NGA database.

Brilliant color, good form and substance.

Excellent pollen parent- I have crosses that should (fingers crossed) bloom this year.
Sun Bear x Coral Majority is one I hope to see.

I bought Coral Majority from Dorsets and Daylilies in Spring 2021, with two fans. It's now up to three and flowered this summer from July 17-29 with 7 blooms and no rust. What a pretty color! The flower is not in the best spot, plenty of shade, then blazing sun in the afternoon. It seems to be tolerating it well though. Next year should see a flower increase.the flower also had some interesting dark polka dots occasionally

2023 update…Coral Majority grew and flowered like gangbusters this year. By April it was at 5 fans and ended the season with 8 in October. It bloomed July 15 to August 26 with at least 35 blooms, probably more.

Just beautiful, eye catching coral, a color I love in Daylilies. A wonderful performer so far!
