And you could even bring a friend Definitely lots of room. Plenty of room for more daylilies too

You are such a sweetheart!

Ginny my HAI and FOA finished quite awhile back. Don't give up to Genesta yet. Looking good Carol.

I figure with a year's rest next year should be spectacular

Ginny, I believe that due to the erratic weather we had here in southern Indiana this spring is why I had 26 daylilies that did not bloom at all.

Here are two of my last blooms of the season:

'My Wish Tonight' (Pearce-G., 2012) is registered as Mid-Late. Started blooming on June 29 and the last bloom was on August 19. It is a bud builder.


'Backseat Romance' (Owen-P., 2011) is registered as Mid with rebloom and this rebloom scape was a welcome surprise because I don't get a lot of rebloom. It started blooming June 23 and this last bloom was on August 18.

I only had two that didn't bloom other than some of the ones planted last fall and one is a very late bloomer. When I Dream (loved the pics of yours Ginny) and the other name I temporary forgot. Appears to be loosing fans. Going to give it a pep talk and some help.

Let me know if the pep talk works

If the pep talk doesn't work, you can always resort to threats of life in the compost pile

The plan is to add compost, garden soil and some Alfalfa.

My Wish Tonight bloomed well into August in my garden also. Kind of a good year for Ginny Pearce' later blooming daylilies in general, for me.

Vickie, your pics of MWT are so much better than mine. It's hard to get that color right.

You are a kind man, Mike. I hope they appreciate it and reward you with increased vigour

@Lyshack, Tim, I agree that Ginny Pearce's daylilies did well this year. I have Sailor Sky, My Wish Tonight, Kathy Perkins, and Flutterfest and they all did beautifully!

Vickie,
I can't help noticing that you used the past tense for these blooms in your zone 6b garden. Do you have any very late bloomers that are still blooming on their original scapes ( i.e., not reblooms)? Or any that are yet to bloom?

Raggedy Man is one among others still blooming here. Daylily (Hemerocallis 'Raggedy Man')

If I get some extra time I may list some of my lates and very lates, very busy so not sure there will be time.

I have observed that the following daylilies registered as "very late" finished blooming almost two weeks ago, or even earlier in my zone 6b garden:

Easy Ned
Last Quarter
Lime Frost
Sun Temple Spirit
Flameburst

All my daylilies registered as "late" finished blooming here several weeks ago.

Frans Hals, registered as a mid-late bloomer, finished blooming here on August 21.

The reason I find this thread helpful is because it contains the personal experience of other gardeners with daylilies that actually bloom very late, not that are just registered to do so. This is important to me because I have not found the registered bloom time to be as accurate/informative as I would like it to be. Perhaps the guidelines for registering bloom time are a bit subjective.

These are ones that are late blooming that are still blooming, not on re-blooms, in my Zone 5b (I do have several re-bloomers still blooming):
A Splash of Wine
Child of Bethlehem
Citrina
Crown of Creation is a Bud Builder
Final Touch
Frans Hals
Heartbeat of Heaven
Heavenly Angel Ice
Late to The Party
Lilting Belle says Mid but for me it's a late bloomer and still blooming
Palmetto Pride
Penny Arcade
Poinsettia
Red Thunder
Regal Finale
Soli deo Gloria
Steve's Corn Rows
Thorhalla

@csandt, Carol, I was going to reply "no", but then I looked out my French doors and there in the distance is "Running Late" on it's last bloom, lol! I may have a bloom on Mascara Snake and August Flame left, but that is really all I have. Guess I haven't picked very good ones for August bloom.

FFO on After Awhile Crocodile today. Last to start blooming here.




Eighteen blooms on this one. You guessed it. Genesta


Mapping Pennsylvania - last flower


Buddy's Jane - last flower.
