Hi All , here is a question that has languished in my brain for a long time. I wonder if anyone has any insight into the rust factor. If a daylily is afllicted with rust and you remove the leaves (and burn ) will that plant continue to be plagued by rust or is there something you can apply to the now naked crown to kill any possible remaining spores ? will the new growth not yet showing have spores? rust ?
When I first got interested in daylilies I was told it was a plant that had no problems growing . Now 10 years later I know that there are thrips problems, rust, Tobacco Ringspot Virus, Spring Sickness, Leaf Streak, Crown Rot and now Shoestring Root Rot . OMG what's next .
What happened to healthy daylilies? How can I pass on a daylily to someone and claim it is a worry free plant?
