I am in zone 8b, and out of a dozen or so daylilies I ordered one of them (Jason Mark) has barely survived. I blamed myself for planting it during one of the hottest weeks of the year and in full sun with no shade. I do see it is a dormant, but I had never placed that much emphasis on dormancy as being the reason it did so poorly being I have so many other dormants that seem to be doing well (most of them are no older than 2 years old though).
Have you found that almost any daylily with dormancy in its lineage cannot survive there? I have seen other posts by members even further south saying that plants with any dormancy in their heritage will not survive there. Yet, I keep reading references that some dormants do fine down south? I love reading your posts because you are a southern grower and have such a great selection of plants, so I respect your experience and would appreciate as any feedback and the actual experiences you have had with other dormant plants than have not survived or have done poorly in your garden.
