non flowering hemerocallis
I have a number of plants which flower poorly or some years not at all. As I have much more time to garden I would like to make the most of what I have. Perhaps I can start with 3 hemerocallis
I have 2 orange hemerocallis , one plant split, and a single yellow one. They have been there for about 20 years, but I haven't given up as I like the foliage which are architecturally interesting. I did put one of the orange in a pot and it flowered rather better, but back in the garden this year one orange had 2 stalks, the other 1 stalk and the yellow had a modest flowering some 4 years ago, but nothing since. I mulch with garden compost and this year it they had three bloodfishbonemeal end of march, April May. I know they like sun, one of them doesn't get so much sun , but the other get plenty. I can't think of what more to do. Any ideas as it is a bit frustrating!

I doubt if they need so much blood fish bonemeal either. I never fertilise my daylilies and they perform well.

I tickle wood ash around each plant in early spring .... and mine all flower their socks off.
