jhb50,
Being I am down in Zone 8b, what ever I say will probably not all be true for your zone.
I think it would have been better and less work to not have divided the clumps down into individual fans (some were doubles). I know you were probably thinking to it better to make sure each fan had enough space and was not crowed out and deprived of nutrients. And that brings up the question of "Is it better to plant two or three fans together than single fans". I wish I had a scientific study to quote from here but I do not. I will mention that a lot of daylily people do feel it better to plant a few fans together rather than just a single fan. Nothing saying those singles cannot still be grouped together, but I don't think that is the same as having left two or three fans together (love some more feedback here).
I don't think you can expect anywhere near all the fans to produce scapes next year even if they had not been just dug this year. Being the plants were dug this year, many or even most may not bloom next year (not that familiar with growing those varieties in your zone however). I would never expect the same performance from any fans dug the previous year to have the same results the next year. I have some plants that have taken as long as three years to recover from being transplanted or divided. Admittedly,
some plants recover much faster than that. Some do amazingly well after being transplanted or divided, but I don't ever recall having one that performed just as well the year after as the year of the dividing.
When I have that many fans from one clump I normally like to plant them in groups of three to five fans when replanting.
