But, "hard" and "soft" dormant are not official or formal AHS, horticultural or botanical terms and so different people understand them by different meanings. Munson used "soft" dormant to mean a daylily that "rested" for a month or less, a "hard" dormant taking longer. Some people may equate hard and soft with hardiness or not, some think of "hard" dormants as those needing a chilling period, some think of a "hard" dormant as one that dies back early before frosts, and so on and so on.
