I purchased two double fans of 'Wrennetta Powell' I planted the first double fan in full sun out in the garden along with 14 other plants. The other double fan I potted up and placed the pot in shady spot along with about 100 or so other potted daylily fans, maybe 20+ varieties.
The first two fans planted in the garden developed rot and I lost both fans. When I retrieved the other two fans that were planted in the pot I discovered one of those fans had developed rot...currently the other fan is still alive.
We are in a drought now over a couple of months with no rain, so I was watering the plants with a hose almost every day. I think I over did it, and I know I have read that high heat and lots of water can help cause rot, even though I thought that was normally coupled with fertilizing the plants. So I put off the fertilizer but still developed rot. The fact that so far it has only been the one plant after a period of about six weeks leads me to believe that the variety was subject to rot. Still I would love go get everyone's feed back with how to avoid rot, how to treat rot, and a list of any plants that seem to be prone to rot...or any other rot related info. Anyone have any experience with Rot Ban or similar products, home dips, or witch doctor cures?
