I know that in many regions of the country it makes sense to want to get late and very late varieties to extend the season. And I thought that way also when I first got into daylilies, even being in my region.
But now I realize that by getting late and very late blooming plants I would be restricting the blooming period to just the end of the season with those plants. It is much better I think, in my region, to get early blooming plants that continue to rebloom late into the season, and midseason plants that rebloom late into the season. That way the peak bloom is enhanced and so is the early and late blooming period, not just the few last weeks of the season. Of course the more late and very late blooming plants you have the better chance of having a much better display at the end of the season also, they just won't provide blooms all season long.
I just think for people who are in regions that support good rebloom, the best bang for the buck is to have plants that can bloom from May to September though a series of rebloom.
