I've had this Daylily for a very long time, probably at least 20 years. It is a strong performer, usually blooming prolifically for a long time. Last year, DCS bloomed from July 10 to August 25 ( in two locations. The second shadier location blooms later). But last year had lots of rain and cooler temps. This year ( 2022) produced a much shorter bloom time. There were mitigating circumstances, Heat, drought and invading perennials being the greatest of these. Still a pretty solid performance was had from July 14 to August 2nd.
DCS is a very bright eye catching flower. It's always nice to see it going for it through mid season. I think of it as pretty tough too, I've never pampered it.
