I was reading Munson's 1989 book (Hemerocallis the Daylily) last night while the rain poured. Interesting, on scapes, he mentioned who much needed and successful work had gone into reducing the height of scapes on the modern daylily.

Looking for border plants, I expect. Perhaps at the time height limited them toward the back and there weren't many for the mid and front borders.
