Baby Betsy does ok in my TX garden in spite of benign neglect. Have had since at least 2014.
2018: 13 bud count with 8 405mm scapes
2019: Bud count not great and short at 280mm in spite of high spring rainfall but had 6 scapes. It probably needs to be dug up and derooted.

Derooting is shorthand for getting rid of all the oak tree roots permeating the daylily bed.
