Not sure you can summon two people at one time?
For both or either of you, was your Ed Brown planted in poorly draining soil?
Were their anything you attributed the rot to, did the plant just rot under normal growing conditions? How long had you had the plant before the rot killed it?
Thanks for any info!
All my daylilies grow in raised beds. 'Ed Brown' and some of its children rotted under the same conditions as everything I grow. From conversations I had (at the time) with other folks along the gulf coast, this plant was/is just prone to rot.
People can say what they will, but I am convinced that the rot problem is a genetic flaw, one that may not show up in the north, but when exposed to the climatic pressure of high daily heat and humidity nearly year round, plants that are prone to rot will eventually rot because they can not handle soil pathogens in a garden setting that most other daylilies can shrug off.
