I just got this daylily this year so I cannot comment on it. I've wanted this one for a few years now and it finally got onto my order. I can't wait to hear from others how it does in their gardens.

Suzy Cream Cheese is a great late bloomer in my garden. It increases moderately and has multiple blooms open at once. Looks very nice in a clump. It has rebloomed for me in my zone. I find it to be very pollen fertile but cannot set many pods on it. Substance is very good and it never melts in hot sun. I highly recommend it.

This one is new in my garden this year too. It settled in very nicely last fall and it is growing nicely this year. Looking forward to it blooming.

3.5 years later and I can say this:

In my 5b zone garden, it has prospered!! It is a late bloomer, starting at the end of July and this year went well into the very end of September/beginning of October.

This year, I had at least 15 scapes on my clump and it did a ton of bud building!

You can kind of see the scars from the spent blossoms with the bud building in progress.
