I have been removing some of the scapes on my first year daylilies (actually, first ever) to give them a chance to put their energy into getting established. I'm not sure if it's really necessary to do this but it was recommended by a local gardener and seemed like a good idea. I'm going to let a few buds bloom just so I can see the flowers. I added about 22 new plants to the garden since May, and probably 1/2- 3/4 have tried to send up scapes.
