All great info! One thing to keep in mind when dividing daylilies, especially in hot weather, is they can be susceptible to crown rot. Scott Elliott spoke at our club recently and gave us some good tips about crown rot. He soaks newly divided plants in physan 20 for a couple minutes to disinfect them. Also, there is a product called Serenade which is organic and safe, that can be used in the soil where the new transplant is planted to kill any bacteria or fungus that is present. This will greatly reduce the chances of crown rot. Also, allowing the divisions to dry, and not over-watering will decrease the chances of rot. It seems some cultivars are more susceptible to crown rot than others, but there is not a definitive list of those plants (as far as I know). I have not yet purchased or used the products mentioned above. In the past I have used diluted hydrogen peroxide to "clean" my plants with good success.
