Please suggest a yellow

I want a yellow daylily that will be in bloom now. I have a few yellows but they all bloom earlier. I'm looking for the same color as Sunflowers, so kind of a warm yellow (not gold). 28 inches or under, and I prefer full faced daylilies with ruffles or fat if I can get them. I'm not overly fond of eyes either. I know...I'm picky, picky picky, but will appreciate any suggestions you all may care to give me....Maryl

    Thanks Debra for the suggestion. On my screen it looks a little too lemony, but it's certainly the right form. Also, I didn't know that one blooming now would be considered ML. Thanks for the heads up.....I realize that this was a bad time to post a question as all questions tend to get lost in the picture posting frenzy that's going on now. I'm sure more people will respond with their yellow suggestions once things have calmed down. After all, yellow is one color that comes naturally to daylilies.

    Alpha Sunset.......is one I really like....hard to capture it's rich texture and substance on a pic though.....

    Golden Dimples and Larry Grace!

    Golden Dimples is a dormant and has great plant habit.

    Larry Grace, has that beautiful form. It is only a wonderful performer in zone 7a Virginia.

    sorry, I mistyped.
    Instead of 'It is only a wonderful performer in zone 7a Virginia',

    it should read as

    'It is also a wonderful performer in zone 7a Virginia'

    Golden Dimples looks alot like the color I want. It might be easier if I posted a picture of the Sunflower color that I'm trying to match. Funny about this multiheaded Sunflower. It came up from our Birdseed. In the past if we allowed them to flower they have always been just a single head. Anyway, this is the color I need.

    Maybe Bill Norris is more of what you have in mind?

    Here are a couple of darker yellows

    I will second on RAM, this is the first year it has bloomed here, it arrived last year. One fan is already getting a second scape, it is large and showy, and the word flat when talking about daylilys should include a photo of RAM as an illustration. That one will be here a long time.

    Rick: Could you please post your Picture of Debonair Dude? Great minds think alike because my first thought was Bill Norris, but as Debra says I really need something that is at least a mid if not a mid-late bloomer. Some of the others mentioned, while beautiful, are not the right time period, too tall, or not the right yellow/gold color (perhaps fading by PM?). But your efforts are not wasted because I guarantee you there are lurkers out there watching this post (I know of at least two-LOL) who are making lists as we speak. BTW all the photos are awesome.

    Sure Mary.....no problem. It's a beauty....but most likely too light for you. Here ya go....hope it helps.....

    One I have is Siloam Harold Flickinger, a yellow but often with a hint of rust color to it that I think would look well with your sunflowers. Both it and So Lovely are my last to bloom, large flowers.

    So Lovely is a very late bloomer for me, but too light for what you are looking for

    This is my most stunning "sunflower" yellow in my garden, but it is in bloom now here, so may not have the timing that you would like.

    NOON LIGHT

    Third lurker here. Ram looks like it may work in my zone.

    Making a list and darn, the prettiest chartreuse yellow was a dormant.

  • 17 years ago

    Boy, miss a day on this post and it lands up on page 3. Thank you Rick for posting DD, and yes, it's a little too light for my purposes (but the form is right up my alley). I wish I could have lots of daylilies so that I could include some of these suggestions just cuz they are so pretty....Noon light is such great bright yellow. At a listed 34" a tad tall for what I need. Siloam Harold Flickinger is listed as an EM, so it may be too early here. Like the color though. Any other suggestions are welcome.

    I've got a yellow that may be the right color for you - Starstruck, which just started blooming yesterday
    for this year & will bloom through August. Here's the first flower ~




    With Starstruck & the Early-Mid bloomer Joy And Laughter, I've got glorious yellow flowers all Summer.

    This is my first year with FERENGI GOLD and it should have bigger blooms than what I'm getting so far, but it is still very beautiful and may be what you're looking for. I happen to love it!

    WOW! This forum moves like wildfire! I had lost this thread. Thank you so much to all who have posted. Beautiful yellows, all of them. Now, to find a source. Is there any easy way to find them....besides googleing each one?

    Thanks, cyberdancer

    I ordered Ferengi Gold from South Wind Daylily Farm. Everything I ordered from them came up beautifully and they were really cheap, but I ordered towards the end of summer and they were having an amazing sale.
