I was just reading this old post being 'Highland Lord' was the daylily of the day.

In Zone 9b (Local Temps = Min 25/Max 108)
Vigor and Flower: Highland Lord started out as a healthy plant years ago in our gardens, but gradually lost vigor and dwindled down, along with other long, narrower-leaf daylilies that consistently under-perform in summer temps above 90-100 in our zone 9b. It did not increase over three years. Just not enough vigor in the leaves to support more gain than loss, and not an appropriate cultivar for use in a drought tolerant hybridization program."
Plus I also remember some posts by some here (myself included) saying that for us 'Crimson Pirate' was a narrow leafed plant. But others replied that for them they saw no difference, that in their garden 'Crimson Pirate' had "normal width" leaves.
So I am wondering if others have noticed that 'Highland Lord' seems to have narrow leaves in their garden (I will check mine tomorrow).
Also I would like to hear from people in hot zones, say 9-11? Has anyone noticed narrow leafed daylilies not doing well in the heat?
