I watched a video by Dan Hanson that mentioned that hybridizers sometimes grow their plants in the shade for that very reason. It makes the scapes grow up to (35 per cent?) taller, gets the blooms up out of the foliage. But then, when the plant is actually planted out in the garden in full sun, the blooms are on the shorter scapes and are hidden down in the foliage. He was talking about things to watch out for when visiting a daylily farm(shade cloth over blooming sized daylilies). Thanks for the list of shade tolerate, rust resistant daylilies. I tip my hat to you.
