I agree Paula, I can't help but think it is good to get rid of any diseased foliage. Mine do grow back some and with the cutting not real short they have a little coverage when everything dies back.
Nothing like starting the woodstove to take the chill off the house these fall nights, have yet to even see if the backup furnace is working. The copy I ordered last spring of the Landscaping With Daylilies book is waiting for a good day to curl up with a book, blanket and woodstove. By Feb. I will be well over the cozy feeling, hauling wood and loading the stove every hour... will have me counting the minutes til April!
