But then again, I am trying to get around that issue by hybridizing for rust resistance, so treating for rust would defeat that purpose....
If enough people lived in the area to form a daylily club it's possible. I've heard that in some places, clubs make large purchases and split the cost between members. In fact, a couple of us have talked about a daylily club in the general area of Marion County and The Villages, but we havn't done anything about it. Yet.
Cabrio is cheap, compared to other things. I know one commercial grower who, when I asked how me controlled rust, showed me a container of something (I forget the name) that he said cost $400.
That's a major 'ouch' for me, but then, he sells daylilies by the thousands.
