I appreciate the feedback. I have had two periods were the daylilies suffered hard freezes and I cut the leaves back. Now this late in the year (seems late, but maybe I am just rushing things) do the non protected plants have enough time to catch up with the protected ones. What if we were even a month more advanced in the year, and had a very late unexpected freeze, do you still think the frozen ones would have enough time to catch up with the protected ones, it just seems like there would have to be a time somewhere along the way when that would not be possible.
Tender...that term still gives me a little problem. My little study on the term did reveal that tender is often misused in in regard to Evergreen, and that local feed back is a possible source of information. I have been looking at the data base and often see very few people own certain daylilies, so that probably being one of the best sources available, it makes finding reliable information on tenderness very subjective it seems. Just out of curiosity I punched in Hardy only to zone 11, actually found one daylily listed, I guess that might qualify as tender?
My brother lives in Fairhope, so one day I may have to drive down to Cantonment, I used to always see that sign on the interstate when driving back and forth form Mobile. Are you open to the public?
