Tina and Seedfork - I can concur, the narrow leaf varieties take forever to bloom here ... if at all. My biggest problem with all of my daylilies is that I do not know what the parentage is (except the newer seedlings). But I will say the ones with the thin leaf blades don't ever seem to do well or as well as the wider and larger leaf daylilies. Many of my thin leaf varieties do bloom eventually (most of them), but they usually take an extra year or two before they do. I had some that bloomed this year, but those blooms were smaller blooms like 4" - 4 1/2" blooms. And I think that is what they are supposed to be. Many of mine do not appear to be dormants either. I've had to be careful not to pull them as they do resemble over-grown grass in my daylily beds.
It sure would be helpful if some folks here would add a photo of the foliage to each daylily cultivar in the database.
I would also be interested in what any of the daylily growers and sellers have to say with their observations! Hopefully, some of them will chime in here!
