Odd Hemerocallis question.
P. C. Andrews (Mon, 11 May 2009 06:07:55 PDT)
Thanks for that experiment Jan. I am more suspicious now since the clump is in low, boggy land that is a potential runoff area about 150 feet downhill from a road verge. Hemerocallis is reputed to be resistant to herbicides due to the waxy coating on the mature foliage, but if the herbicide is in the groundwater its a different exposure mode, of course.
If they exhibit the same behavior this year, I'll take pictures and move a few of the plants to my garden where there are no herbicides. That experiment will be a bit longer than yours, unfortunately.
Regards,
Phil

Phil,
It can be herbicide runoff to, especially hormone based herbicides can do
this. Yesterday I've applied 2,4D very concentrated to Ailanthus stems and
after 3 hours they looked liek a question mark.
