Last year and this year I have had daylily problems with buds turning brown and falling off or turning yellow and not developing fully. I have some leaf streak but do not think that is the problem. In March the leaves were green and lush. Since then some plants look like they are shrinking in size and the scapes are just an inch or two form the ground. I have a Happy Halloween that has blooms only 4 inches form the ground and have another daylily 18 inches away that is three feet high with perfect blooms and buds. I used Milogranite in March and then applied some alfalfa pellets in April. I am in Zone 8 near Montgomery, AL and we had a warm spell in February followed by cold weather until last month. I have very rich soil but we have had numerous storms with excessive rain. This 20 ft. X 30 ft. bed is located where a weeping willow tree was some 15 years ago. I have had daylilies here for at least 10 years and in 2017 had the best and most blooms ever. Can anyone offer any advice as to what has may have happened and what I need to do ? Any advice?recommendations will be welcomed.
