Gleni said:It would be interesting to here about tissue culture. If you think about it, how can clones be inferior to parents? Maybe environmental factors are also involved?
Some plants that are tissue cultures do well and there are no issues and I have heard some do better than the mother plant, but daylilies are another matter. It tends to bring out the bad traits. TC daylilies can have duller coloring, less buds, less branching, weak plant altogether. If daylilies are evaluated properly to watch the clones and make sure they are inline with the mother plant then it would be ok but mass producing them and then not evaluating to make sure they are good is where the issues come in.
