@Seedfork Even here in the mountains my daylilies are struggling badly. It doesn't seem to matter whether I moved and/or planted them last Fall or this Spring. Many have lots of dead foliage, though they also bloomed. I am going to cut them back because I found that one new plant, still in its grow bag, died all the way back and is now a nice small green clump. I think some of the newest plants, whether planted Fall or Spring, are not going to make it, though I will leave them in the ground, just in case. I have never had a year where I have had so much difficulty growing daylilies and attribute it to the severe cold in December, coupled with a rainy Spring, followed by a very dry Summer. If all of that doesn't stress a plant, I can't imagine what would. It has certainly stressed me!!
