RE: Interest in Late blooming daylilies

If we are talking late blooming daylilies I have to tout 'Hot Toddy.'  Mind you, I have no idea where you get this plant.  I got mine, after bloom (bought bloom unseen) at a local nursery.  It is a deep peach -- a really beautiful peach, not orange!  It blooms about 1 week later than the first daylily, but will continue into SEPTEMBER if kept watered and deadheaded.  I have about 50 daylilies and NONE keep the pace with this one, not even Hyperion, an old stand-by.

Maybe you could make a list of a dozen or so that are not hard to find that 
bloom in mainly in August.  Nearly all of mine bloom in August because of the 
zone but late bloomers would be a good thing to know when shopping.

I escpecially like those that are purple or at least try to be purple.  What 
you find to be late in New Hampshire would be late summer, I suppose, 
elsewhere. 

Cheryl, is Rocket City that neon orange plant that I have a dim memory of, 
one that blooms quite tall and is hard to place near other plants?   I had 
one called Orange Crush which I gave to someone who wanted it because it 
often produced more than the three/petal/three tepal arrangement.  That was 
pretty neon lighted also.
