I'm with Larry here, for sure. I've not only wondered when it happens, but how it happens. It seems on those I have it can happen anytime during the year. At least some are growing new fans that are a decent size that weren't there last fall. I assume they've been growing underground for a while. But new fans occur when they send up a scape, especially if it appears a single fan is dividing. Then the scape tends to come up between those growing points and when it's all over with there are two fans left. Others put up fans out from the clump and also have some in the clump. I've wondered if those that 'run' have picked up a stoloniferous trait from a species ancestor, especially since many also seem to grow fans directly off the crown. And some fans bloom without adding new fans at all. Several of the tetraploid daylilies I'm growing are slower to add fans. I think that's probably just a trait of those plants. Some of those are also among the ones that simply have more fans in the spring than when they shut down for their take on hibernation during the winter months.
