I was waiting for someone to bring up the rust issue, seems I dwell on it a lot. I have noticed that most of the posts here are from 7b and cooler and a lot of the favorites up there are listed with poor rust resistance, great where rust is not a concern. I was wondering why so few posts from further south and it dawned on me that most daylilies down here have bloomed out but should be on rebloom. However, I would love to encourage lists from the zone 8-10 rage they don't have to be in bloom at the moment, I know there are lots of daylilies that perform great that are growing in gardens that don't have a rust rating of 1.0 or any rating at all.
I sure do need some lists of those types of plants, old cheap daylilies that put on a great performance every year and show good resistant against rust, especially those that are not listed that way.
There are quite a few that I have been pleased to see posted that do have excellent rust resistant ratings as Becky pointed out, and I think I have added nearly all of them to my garden this year. I still have twelve spots available that I would love to plant this October so please keeps the lists coming.
