Another post: Some great lates

9 years ago

I realized that I couldn't fit everything in one post so I started another. Here are some of the late-bloomers that are working hard right now and which I think are superb.

MARQUE MOON

A really great late for those who prefer more 'frilly' flowers. Most late-bloomers are rather plain but this one is really lovely and it has great bud count and lots of scapes.

SEPTEMBER BLAZE (plain.... but oh, so abundant)

BRIDGETON IVY LEAGUE

ORCHID CORSAGE (with the last blooms of MOUNTAIN BLUEBIRD)

DESIREE

New to me this year: PINHILL TALL GODDESS

This plant is a skyscraper! Very Tall and late-blooming!

First year here and I'm impressed.

Al impressive blooms. Marque Moon is lovely. September Blaze does not look plain in a clump! And the skyscraper is really tall!

I really love MARQUE MOON, and was intrigued with MOUNTAIN BLUEBIRD, so I went and looked it up at the AHS site - nice!

Love Marque Moon, and look at those buds. I have Orchid Corsage too & love it. My very lates tend to be pretty plain too, & my least favorite colors, orange & gold for the most part.

Hadn't heard of Marque Moon--thanks for posting. Have found many of Selman's to be poorly budded and badly branched.

Looks like Pinhill Tall Goddess would give Sears Tower a run for its money in height! I do really like Marque Moon! Very very pretty. It's nice to see a late white.

Thanks all. Mantis, this Marque Moon is a surprise to me with how well-budded it is. I got it last year but it didn't bloom (planted too late) and 'wowed' me this year. Every day there are multiple blooms.

Brad, yes this is one super tall daylily! It has barely been in the ground here for a couple months and this is what it looks like.....I can't wait till next year! It's stats are impressive: 6-way branching and a bud count of 26-30. Listed as being 45 inches tall but mine is already over that. I got it from Harmon Hill in Hudson, NH because I already have Pinhill Claret Symphony which is a great late (tall, well-budded, great color). Not many have heard of this one but I'm glad I got it.

Love your lates, Celeste! Marque Moon is my favorite today. My Autumn Minaret is taller than PHC but yours has fancier blooms. Notify Ground Crew is up there too.

Marque Moon is a stunner, and September Blaze looks like a very floriferous clump. I'm surprised how well Desiree does for you. It hasn't bloomed well at all here for the past three years. All are wonderful!

I especially like the gorgeous Mountain Bluebird. It is much paler here, of course as are most intense colors.

Very nice blooms! The clump of September Blaze looks great, a pretty shade of pink. Pinhill Tall Goddess looks like it's settling in nicely.
