Arlene - Since I have acquired 9 new dormants, I will be watching their progress. I have already seen the decline of one of them (Persian Pattern). I will be watching it closely to see if it survives. It seemed to all but disappear this Winter and is coming back very sparse. I am hoping it is just a rest period and will catch up to my other daylilies in foliage and multiply, but I won't be surprised if it doesn't. I acquired it this past Fall without the very high temps of summer in central Florida to try to survive in. This summer here may be the death of it. (But am hoping not.)
Thank you to all for contributing to this very helpful conversation about summer dormancy and plants that are listed as dormants.
