Hello, I noticed that several of my daylilies have rebloom scapes, some just starting, others with buds. I am only a few days away from our average first frost date, and although, it is still warm during the days, the lows have been down to high 30's. Should I cut all the scapes? I would think that I would see no bloom from these and the energy used by the plant, would take away from next years blooms, but I don't know for sure.

Thanks,
Gale

Yes, do cut the scapes. Even I cut scapes that occur late in the season down here in 9a. Let the plants funnel that energy back into surviving/growing during the winter.

30's for you? I'm excited about lows in the 60's!!

Thanks, Arlene. Sorry you don't get to enjoy all the seasons, I do enjoy them all, but by late winter I will be envious of you.
