Hello, I'd like some recommendations of daylilies that bloom for a longer period of time than others. I'm in zone 5. Thanks!

Nice list, George. Thanks for sharing.
I have Stella D Oro and what I think is Happy Returns- neither has rebloomed for me in z5 but were reliable spring bloomers over the past 8+ yrs.

However, until last fall they were heavily shaded by an overgrown rambling rose so I've moved them to full sun and where they will get better watering....so we'll see. We have perpetual drought here in addition to cold/dry winters. I'm sure that affects rebloom too.

Suggestions for front of border long bloomer
Q
Comments (10)
These are some of my favorite front of the border plants. I also leave some space for annuals so that there is color in front all season long. All of these plants have good looking foliage. I am looking forward to see other responses. To me, finding the front plants is the most challenging. Rozanne Geranium (Cranesbill. blue/violet. Gets a pinker look in intense sun.) Salvia lyrata (the foliage is an intense red violet. I cut off the flowers.) Stachys byzantinus: Lambs Ears. the foliage is the show. Rain lilies (zephyranthes): bulbs Sedum mediovariegata (yellow and green variegated foliage) Nepeta (catmint) Coreopsis Zagreb (yellow blooms. beautiful foliage. Has to be deadheaded.) Phlox divaricata (I plant these next to the cranesbills and catmints so that they are completely shaded in the summer. Their spring blooms are gorgeous.) Dianthus (pinks) Iberis, Snowflake (candytuft. Needs shade here, but not for you.) Acorus Gramineus, Aurea (grass. needs shade here, but maybe not for you.) Annuals: profusion zinnias, crytal zinnias, salvia farinacea Victoria, vinca (low growers), annual heleniums

Revisitng once-bloomers - rambler recommendations
Q

You have a lot to learn about the Japanese beetle. Growing once blooming ramblers won't do that much to minimize their presence in your garden. The only way to do that is to have no garden. I'll not give up my fragrant repeat blooming roses and let the beetles win. One, I don't let them frustrate me. They get the roses for the few weeks they're bad, then they're mine again to enjoy the rest of the season. Even when they're present, I can enjoy the roses. I don't spray or do anything to prevent them other than treat the lawn in mid August each year to kill newly hatched beele larva. I also provide lots of nesting area for birds and other natural preditors. While few like beetles, for some reason, I don't get overwhelmed like others seem to. Regardless, I'm able to enjoy roses all season. I just ignore the beetles. It's hard at first but over time you learn to do it. The more you ignore, the less of a problem they seem to be and with my 400 roses, you'd think they'd be one heck of a problem.

Late bloomers and long bloomers today
Q
Comments (10)
Thanks everyone. I find it's easier to appreciate the late daylilies when there is so little competition. I like them all. Marg and Jean,I think Alexis Sunny Pants just might be my favorite plant in the garden this year. It is such a fabulous performer. Eggplant Electricity has been a favorite for a few years. Mantis--Spacecoast Dragon Prince was new last August, but so far has been very impressive. I've always liked Elegant Finale--a very nice late bloomer. Purple Archittecture is fairly new and is putting on a show. Great branching on this one. Val

Grace, welcome to the forum. It starts with one rose and then you have a garden full, so get ready! That's so sweet that you are already wanting to share your passion. There a quite a few people who garden in Fl. so maybe they'll pipe in or perhaps you can search this forum. One member with a blog recently mentioned Belinda's Dream, Sweet Drift and Wedding Bells and possibly Bliss. There are also some Fl. online nurseries whose opinions you could seek. Try coolroses.com. You may have to call. Will this rose be kept in a pot always? I'll try and find the post with other nurseries and the link to her blog. I'm having a brain cramp atm. Roses for Florida comes up often. Here's a link to get you started: best-roses-for-florida
