I added 'Bermuda Coral' to the gardens this past year, I can attest to the fact that it flowered late in the summer here in zone 3. It does add some necessary height to the border, and I do like the colour which may (at first glance) come across as a baby pink ... but when you look closer, has subtle tones of apricot blended in. I will have to see if it comes back in 2022 (it is supposed to be hardy for my zone 3 gardens).

While some folks dismiss some of the older, more solid daylilies as 'too plain' I feel they add contrast to the newer, showier daylilies ... if every flower is a crazy quilt, over the top show-stopper, then it seems like (after a while) we stop looking altogether. You stop noticing the details.

Bermuda Coral, for me, is subtle and adds a touch elegance.
Life is what happens while you are making other plans.
