Michele, the person we bought BAP from about 5 years ago told us to not refrigerate it, and we never have. Obviously, refrigeration must not affect it if the BAP is working for you. Most daylilies that we have treated with BAP did not drop their buds but a few did. I think it depends on the daylily and when it is treated. The strength could also affect that, too. We never sprayed the buds, only the fans just above the crown so the liquid could run down to the crown.

How much alfalfa pellets do you put in a hole in the ground when you plant a new daylily? I have been using a cup (8 oz.) when planting and then the same amount around the plant each spring. I have wondered about using more when planting but don't want to overdo it and be sorry.

Edited to say that we used the liquid that we diluted with water. We were also told that we should use any that we had diluted with water within 24 hours. We used a 32 oz. spray bottle filled (water & BAP) to the 27-28 oz. line.
