Re: Hemerocallis help needed

I'd like to add a few questions of my own to this topic  -

This past spring, I resurrected some daylilies that had been swamped out
by a huge bed of asters that always outgrew the daylilies and therefore
pretty much blocked out the sun, not to mention what might have happened
to water and soil!  I transplanted the daylilies fairly carelessly and
they took immediately but I haven't gotten any blooms this year.  Is
there any possibility they have been "destroyed" (if that is possible)
by the years in the aster bed? By the way, they had not bloomed in the
past couple of years in the aster bed but I was very bad and had ignored
them until this spring.

Help!
