Daylily (Hemerocallis 'String Theory')

I purchased String Theory at the annual NEDS club sale in May from another member. I don't have any comments yet this year, it was too new to flower.

However, I did notice something very interesting when I was planting it. The plant crumbles into individual corms, not interconnected like a lot of Daylilies. Each one has a fan attached ( sometimes just a leaf). I'm wondering if that's where the name String Theory came from, as each one was like an individual string. I've never seen that growth habit before. It sure must make harvesting or lining it out easy!

I have had String Theory about 8 years, have not divided it yet to note its growth habit. Don't really remember anything unusual from when I planted it, but that is not surprising . It has not grown very fast, but I do have a good clump of it now. I like the blooms, it's bud count is more like 15 on a good year, and I don't think it has ever rebloomed. I don't think it reaches 38" tall either, more like 32-34". Not short at least, so that is fine with me.
