Seedfork - THAT is exactly how the foliage on some of mine look! Like long blades of grass all clumped together and some of it flops over.

Sharon - That's cool !

Well you are in zone 7a and Seedfork is in zone 8b. It would appear that the heat factor for dormants would be between those zones. So the "grassing" issue is perhaps the results of dormants being grown in zone 8 and higher. Interesting. I saw this growing in my yard and just assumed that the foliage was for genetic reason different. Apparently that is not true!!!

Arlene - What you wrote makes sense.

With me growing seedlings, there is no telling what genetics will show up in any of those plants. Especially the ones with unknown parentage. I am just surprised that my grassing daylilies have even survived. This is the two year mark for them. Now to see if they come back next year.
What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters, compared to what lies within us.
