Cutting back the stalks (properly called 'scapes') fools the plant into reflowering because it senses that there are no seeds forming. It only works for some varieties and doesn't for most of our hybrids. Growers call the varieties that do 'reblooming' or better yet 'everblooming'.

This is one of the daylily beds with a little rock fountain--a small pump in a 5-gal bucket topped with hardware cloth and some river stone.
