I don't have named ones, but I do have an occasional seedling do that. Could it be heat stress? Or a hard dormant? If I am not mistaken (I need to verify this), I think all the seedlings that have done that had a dormant parent (or both), so I just assumed it wouldn't survive here in the south.

But then again, one of mine is a seedling I bought from Rich. It bloomed this year and was doing great and now completely devoid of leaves. I haven't dug it up yet to check for roots. Summer dormancy? That particular plant is in a partial shady area that gets watered regularly. It's sibling is doing fine as are all the other plants in that area. I wonder what is going on....

Ok. I just checked. My seedling from Rich does not have dormant parents. One is an evergreen and one is a semi-evergreen. So .... now I am really at a loss.

What could slowly kill a seemingly healthy daylily plant?

@sooby , @admmad , and anyone else ....

Are you hearing about this kind of situation from others or have you experienced it yourselves?
What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters, compared to what lies within us.
