Jean, are you sure you have the "wild" one that runs?  Do you deadhead your
daylilies in the summer so that the seeds do not drop and come up later?
With care a seed can bloom in 18 months, just on the ground maybe 2 years if
the soil is rich.  I usually eat the buds of the older varieties but refuse
to let any of the running variety in my yard.  I love the double and triple
'Kwansa" or something like that but it is not in a bed with any other
daylily.  The clumps just stay clumps.  As my trees grow the clumps do get
smaller but I will dig and divide again and they will grow again.  Sorry I
can't help you any more.
Nancy   Tennessee  The thrips have messed up some of the good reds.  The
yellows are looking good though.
