Re: daylilies

Thanks for the response, Kathy. I guess the reason I am so curious about
cutting back and then getting the rebloom is the fact that I have never had
them bloom again. I have had them for 3 years. I checked with the older
woman I had obtained them from and in the many years she has had them they
had never bloomed but once early in June.
