Daylily (Hemerocallis 'August Flame')

I purchased two double fans of August Flame from a northern daylily grower in September, 2016. They were very small plants compared to the many daylilies I purchased from a Virginia grower at the same time. In spring, 2017, the two original double fans of August Flame produced a total of only one scape, whereas all of the original double fans from the Virginia grower produced at least two scapes each.

I was disappointed that only one scape of Autumn Flame developed, but I am unsure whether the source of the problem is (a) northern-grown daylilies in general (b) the particular northern grower that supplied my plants or (c) the cultivar. I chose this cultivar to build a repertoire of very-late-blooming daylilies.

August Flame has been here since I expanded the garden in 2011. I got several fans that I divided into two and planted in two separate location. It has increased well to the point where I need to divide them. Both clumps were loaded with blooms in 2017 and prior years. Extremely fertile. Starts blooming late July in my
Z:5 garden into September.

I purchased a potted up August Flame in 2010 at a landscape center and it has multiplied very well. I should have divided it two years ago actually. It blooms from mid-July to just about mid-August in my zone 6b garden.

Bud count maybe 12 and two-way branching, but it has a lot of scapes. Unfortunately, by the time August arrives, the leaves are looking ratty. But I am glad just to have something blooming then.

My clump of August Flame gets afternoon shade.

I've had August Flame for years...great Daylily, always very splashy when it's blooming. Makes lots of scapes, I'm sure I should have divided it ages ago but it does bloom like crazy.

Not splashy, but pretty, dependable, and especially welcome in the garden for its very-late-season bloom.

Zoia - I looks like you may have double-posted your evaluation.

@beckygardener,
I don't think that was Zoia double posting, I am seen double post like that throughout the forum. Usually the first copy, then another post, then the second copy.

Yep, not me! Although, I do like August Flame!


One more for the road...
