Several of my most reliable daylilies have something weird going on with them. The scapes are short and the buds are curved and small and just "off". Pictures should show what I mean.
Any ideas?
Thanks,

Why are my Daylilies doing this?
How weird. I would suspect the weather has confused them but why don't you check with Roycroft or that other grower in your area. I would love to know their answer.
Yes, that's a good idea, A. I will call Bob at Roycroft. :) I'll let you know . what he says
Well the consensus I've gathered seems to be that this happens due to late spring cold weather, which we definitely had this year. I have 2 clumps that are blooming like mad, but the blooms are all about the same height as the foliage tops. Strange but true.
Good to know and now that the weather has warmed they should start behaving normally.
Hoping so! The others that have scapes seem to be pushing them up higher. This is one of the early bloomers though. More like a Hidden Ginger than a Lily. :)
Just to update. All recovered and bloomed "normally" after the first few little shorties. :)
Good growing!
