I'm so glad we've also recently found, from an earlier helpful post by Seed (and subsequent experimenting), that relocating short-scaped daylilies to shady areas often results in much taller blooms (and vice versa). I have some that were too tall growing in shady areas, and they got sent to my blast furnace beds (much less exaggerated scapes on them this summer!). On the other hand, those in full sun beds with scapes lower, or blooms smaller, than we enjoy go to shadier spots and usually come up much bigger or higher. It is a great relief and joy not to feel the need to toss or give them away. And we still find that a mix of both are welcome in our gardens for their variety, novelty, and their ability to widen our appreciation for daylilies' many expressions. Lovey dubby
