Daylilies blooming in September in Michigan
When purchasing daylilies, don't forget to order some marked "L" or late blooming. In Michigan, some "L" daylilies can continue to bloom into September. I have included photos of those still blooming on September 6th on a 50 degree morning in our Zone 5! Robert Quasdorf is an exceptional variety. It has bloomed continually for over a month and it's yellow lemon colored blooms are approximately 7 inches large! This variety is a Tetraploid and was introduced by Lee Gates in 1984. (See a photo of this daylily below)

Another Hemerocallis that you should try which is still blooming (very late in the season) is Sandra Elizabeth. (shown below). It is a 1983 Stevens tetraploid approximately 28" tall, with 6 inch blooms and yellow self. Day after day Sandra Elizabeth is sending up wonderful blooms! Mind you, it is September 6th in Michigan!
