The winter has been mild and we're having a cool February/March. I noticed some of my evergreen daylilies which had looked good all winter now looked odd. Began examining and there's a heavy aphid infestation which is not unexpected considering the weather conditions.

I was wondering if anyone could recommend any good systemic insecticides that have worked for you personally. I have Googled and get a host of different sprays and concentrates. I know that some insecticides can be harmful to daylilies and many of the labels don't specifically mention daylilies/hemerocallis. While I'd love to let natural critters take care of the problem, the infestation is heavy enough that I prefer being proactive at this point. Thanks for any suggestions you can provide!
