Just a comment from someone who spent his first 30+ years in the San Jose, CA, area and then moved to Georgia and have put another 30+ years living in the Macon and Augusta areas. "Full sun" in San Jose and in Georgia are two entirely different things. For example, geraniums do fine in full sun in San Jose but burn in full sun in Georgia. My daylily years did not start until I moved to the South, but The same goes for daylilies. The SF Bay Area can have full sun without a problem. In Georgia, 6 hours probably is enough direct sun. As my and my neighbors' yards continue to grow, I have some daylilies getting less than 6 hours of direct sun and they may not have as many blooms per scape, but neither do they have summer dormancy. I have adapted a bit by having more of by dark color daylilies in the shadier areas where they do not fade or 'glaze over' as quickly.
