    Yabba Dabba Doo has never bloomed Late for me. Usually starts anywhere from first week to the 3rd week in June and blooms for 4-6 weeks. I track when my daylilies bloom, and weirdly enough this one seems to alternate its bloom start--one season it's early June, the next season it's later June. It's been in the garden for 7 years.
