Welcome to an amazing, informative group of Dayliliy lovers, Dennis. I am also rather new to growing Daylilies (year 4) and have learned more here than any were else.
I do have a little to add about fertilizer. We built our house on a circle corner, and part of our yard and flower beds are hit by the end gun from the circle. Field corn has been grown in the field for the past few years, and since corn is in the grass family, high doses of liquid nitrogen is ran through the circle several times a year. The Daylilies that are hit by the end gun, have multiplied MUCH quicker than those that aren't. I planted my yearling seedling in a spot were approximately half received water from the end gun and half didn't (a little over 100 seedlings). Over half that are hit by the end gun are now multiple fans (up to 5 fans), I noticed 3 that have multiplied from the seedlings not hit by the end gun. I have not noticed any less scape density or blooms from these Daylilies. I am far from an expert and did not plant with experimentation in mind, but I have noticed that Daylilies seem to love nitrogen, and plan to use it to feed mine.
