I'd say what's your secret? I see so many old, large patches of H. fulva growing everywhere in my area, including my own place where I've got a patch of around 150-200 plants. From landscaped properties to around the foundation of a long gone house in the middle of the woods. I've planted them in areas that receive little sunlight and little more than coarse sand and they still perform decently. I've ripped them out of the ground, tossed them into the woods and had even those throw away plants survive, bloom, and spread.
They don't usually grow in very tight clumps like some other daylily cultivars do, but perhaps if the patch is large enough you could tear out little sections here and there. They should quickly get new fans showing up in those areas and may help promote blooms? Just guessing here, as it's certainly the one daylily I've never had poor bloom years with.
