One more question .... is there anything that can be added to the soil to help the daylilies better handle heat stress? Compost? Micro-nutrients? Lots of water during the hot months?

I do believe a Shade cloth might also help. I will have to figure something out concerning that. I do have an idea to make a pvc hoop cover for the raised beds. But my other issue is do I really want that in my garden. Maybe it would be better to see which plants can handle heat and survive and thrive. I sometimes read that gardeners have a cultivar or seedling that toughs it out with ease during a hot and sometimes dry summer. I might also be able to provide some shade by moving some potted plants around near the beds to give some shade.
What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters, compared to what lies within us.
