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.
