Here is a link to the Garden Ideas Article I did about late bloomers.

I have gotten several late and late rebloomers from Tranquil Lakes. I was out there at the end of September a few years back and got to see what was blooming that day. I take my son back to school right down the road from there in 10 days. I plan to make another visit then.

A few very lates that I haven't seen mentioned yet is Steeple Jackie and Barbara. Both are about 2 weeks away from their FFO. I have several scapes developing on each of them.

I was looking and my Red Thunder is just now putting up a scape! I planted it last Fall so this will be the first blooms. Hope it's this late all the time

The Genesta mother clump had it's ffo this morning.
Just look at all those scapes

Forgot to mention that Give Me Eight is in the background with two of the last three flowers on this clump

Blooming now with more buds yet to bloom:

Frans Hals; I received this plant as a tiny gift with an order of peony roots from Wild ; it took two years to bloom:


August Flame; very slow to establish in my garden; took two years to flourish, but now it is beautiful:


Back to School. First summer in my garden; plant is very small; FFE


I am beginning to wonder if all or most very-late-blooming daylilies are slow to establish. August Flame and Back to School came from two different growers in New England and started out as much, much smaller rhizomes than I have ever received from growers in Virginia, Michigan and Georgia. Is slow establishment a characteristic of very-late-blooming daylilies themselves or sources in New England? What is your experience?

Carol I haven't noticed that, but I might look at mine and see if the late bloomers took longer. Keep on Looking has been blooming for quite awhile and is still blooming!

Genesta was one of five plants that I got from a seller in Wisconsin on the LA as a package deal for 19.99 I want to say. It was sold as one fan, but I believe I got a couple. It didn't missed a beat the following year as it increased and bloomed. The rest as they say is history. I believe that some plants take awhile to get going while others just take off.

I agree - any of mine that are evergreen do take longer to get established, but so far, other than a couple, they have done quite well after a couple years.

So I lied about Barbara....... FFO today!! Also Give Me Eight had a FFO today.

Zen Pavilion is still blooming, and I realized that my Genesta has 2 scapes now. Steeple Jackie is upto 7 scapes!!

Which ones on this list are blooming now or have buds for future blooms?

Red Thunder just opened up for the first time today and has more buds on it


I'll have to check to see what has scapes shooting up this weekend. Going Bananas definitely has new scapes on the reblooms.

The thread "Late Flowering Daylily Bloom Times in 2018, Zone 7" in Daylilies forum

Blooming on August 20 in my zone 6b garden; all designated "very late" bloomers:

I looked last night and for whatever reason my Genesta won't be blooming this year No scapes. There were 3 or 4 in that same area that didn't bloom this year and others did just fine. No clue what's happening but need to keep my eyes open.

After the rain this morning I did a really quick check:
FFE on Lost in the Mist

Keep on Looking still has a couple buds

Cradle of Bethlehem still has a couple buds

Wrestling with Angels has several buds left

Eye on the Sparrow I think this was the last bloom but didn't look too closely

Mary's Baby just about done

Child of Bethlehem still has several buds

Heavenly Angel Ice still has buds


There were more, but I posted those the other day. My Francis of Assisi just finished up this weekend.

Wow Ginny, I love your house! Looks like you'd have plenty of room for Margaret, AND me!
