| No, it isn't the ratty foliage. It is the fact that if you don't dead head every day, the blooming flowers are surrounded with mushy blooms of yesterday. I have well over 300 clumps and all are just beautiful blooms (threw away all that weren't!) but dead-heading every morning just isn't in the cards for me. If someone could hybridize a self-cleaning daylily, perhaps I could love again. |

| You deadhead every day? Wow. I wait until the foliage looks terrible and then I go over them with the lawn tractor, deck set very very high. A few weeks later, they're all green and tidy looking again. I learned a lot of short cuts when I started gardening on three acres. |

| I doubt that you'd get too many devotees of the MulchMama school of fine gardening, lol. |
