This is going back to a much earlier post on this topic... just catching up on this subject. Regarding the cultivar, 'Alan Lane Agin,' although it is registered as dormant (deciduous), it has NEVER behaved that way here in the mid-Atlantic, since it was purchased from the hybridizer when she first introduced it. It does not look at all like the other deciduous daylilies here , as it tries to grow whenever the weather moderates a bit, a trait more associated with evergreens. I just checked it earlier today and new tips of foliage are not peeking out like one often sees with the deciduous daylilies at this time of year, rather foliage is crusted in brown half dead foliage with traces of green underneath. Although it may have behaved differently in AL, it is definitely an evergreen here!
