Oh I am glad some survived that freeze.Would love to see a photo of the survivors.

Your DL's died in the freeze? Why - what happened? We have freezing temps every year here and it doesn't kill them...at least not so far. You must've been so upset - I would've been. I'm glad you had some survive and are seeing blooms!

Here in Lakeland we had 3 days of freezing temperatures. My daylilies were in a raised bed that sits up on blocks that are 36 inches tall. Cold temps got under the bottom of the beds and froze the roots. Wind with the cold temps makes for dried out foliage that crumbles to the touch.
I was very upset but a friend is sending me some that she is clearing out of her beds.I wasn't picky when she asked which ones I wanted, dip or tets. I said I would take either one or all.
I will be reimbursing her for the postage. This summer I will sterilize my soil to kill crown rot bacteria and fungus in the soil.So before I replant in the beds, I will add new soil after the sterilization to bring the soil level up in the bed, it is a little shallow right now.

I also found another one I thought was lost, it is a no name but it came from a friend as a seedling. It is a clear yellow with a thin gold wire edge.

Thanks for the explanation. I did not know that raised beds were more likely to freeze than pots. Mine are all in the ground...except for a few potted seedlings that I won't have room for until Fall. Glad you found another one! Maybe...just maybe...it's not as bad as you first thought and you'll have more pop up.

Daylilydayzed How do you sterilize your soil for crown rot and fungus.

Pat.

To sterilize the soil, I cover it with black plastic and let the sun heat it up. I have sunshine almost everyday down here in FL so it will only take a few days to get it sterilized with summer heat.
