Regina - I don't know if this is helpful or not, but ... During the heat of summer, many of my daylilies will go semi-dormant to cope with the hot temperatures, lack of enough water, and intense sun. But under the soil is a party going on as the roots have not stopped growing and spreading outward. I know that may not be true of all cultivars, but it sure is true of most of the daylilies I grow in my heat stressed garden beds. When the summer temps decline, then I often see new leaf growth on mine. Smaller plants (1-2 fans) seem to be most likely to do this, as they aren't big enough to provide a lot of shade beneath them to keep their roots cool. Just a thought ....
