Last fall I bought alot off the LA, some were very large fans, leek size ya know. I had to laugh the other day when I was making my rounds, seeing ALL are now normal or in some cases below normal size. Now I am wondering how many will really bloom this year at all? Since much of their energy seems to be going to towards turning into the normal sized eastern daylily. Some of these have really shrunk! They are the size of my small daylilies like litttle Red Spring Song, smaller Siloams etc.

Have learned my lesson though, when reading feedback, I know to ignore the leek sized praises knowing in many cases those big boys are not going to stay big boys! Lots of nice roots is more important.
Is it climate that makes them so big? Or lots of fertilizer ? Or something else? Roots were okay , not alot of real thick but lots of new white roots, thin.
