Yes, "Flip, Flop and Fly", I just entered "Minimum Cold Hardiness zone 11", when I entered "Minimum Cold Hardiness zone 2" I got zero. Am I confused (again) I took that to mean that zone 11 was the coldest zone for "Flip, Flop and Fly" and that no daylilies were able to grow (under normal circumstances) in zone 2. Am I reading that wrong, or is the data base not correct, help me understand.
For whatever reason it lists Zone 4 and Zone 11 as the minimum if you go into the plants info, I don't know why maybe a typo. Since FLIP, FLOP, FLY was hybridized in Ohio then it is most definitely hardy in other zones.
I don't go by hardiness zones for plants usually because to me they don't seem accurate at least in the areas I have been in. I lived in Naples, FL (zone 10a) and the hardiness map says min temps are 30-35 and unless it has changed a great deal since I was there I would say that those temps are way off because it never got below 80 when I was there. People went to the beach in the winter because it was wayyyyy too hot in the summer to go. For here it says our min temps are 10-15 and15-20 (we kind of verge on 2 zones) and unless we have a fluke winter like this year then our min temps are usually in the 30-40 range and that's maybe for a month.
I'm not sure how cold you get there ( I see you are in the same zone as me) but you really should be able to grow all foliage habits of daylilies with no problems even if a plant is tender (if you ever figure out what that truly means). And foliage habits also don't equate to hardiness or tenderness of a plant IMHO.
