[quote="Mayo62"]being a newbie I haven't paid any attention to the foliage of the DL's I have bought... Is one dominant when you cross different types?/quote]
In one of his articles, Stout wrote that evergreen foliage was dominant. However, he gave no details of the crosses on which that conclusion was based. If one examines the registration database and analyzes the foliage types of the registered parents (when provided) of registered daylilies, there is some evidence that would support his statement. But I doubt that the inheritance of foliage type follows the Mendelian ratios associated with the expression of dominant characteristics. The inheritance of the registered foliage type is unlikely to be simple as the foliage types can be completely different when a cultivar is grown in different locations.
