beckygardener said:I am bumping this up since I have questions about rust!
I wondered, too, if a daylily was exposed enough times to rust, could it become immune to the fungus if it is an otherwise healthy plant? I don't believe I've ever lost a daylily to rust, but I do know when they are weak, they get attacked by everything!
Any info I would greatly appreciate!
I have heard that it is possible for a daylily to become resistant to rust over time but I don't know if that is completely true or not. But of course the healthier a plant is the better chance of fighting disease I would assume.
I have heard the expression "GRAD" used many times, it is short for GOT RUST AND DIED. Now I don't know if these actually died from rust or the rust just weakened it and it died from something else. They may have also been so puny and weak that the owner of the plant tossed it and considered it dead.
You will find a lot of views on rust, some talk openly about it while others will not. here is a link to the yahoo daylily rust forum (you will need to join to read/participate
