WHAT IS MEANT BY THE TERM RECURRENT?
Daylilies produce scapes of bloom in spring and then have a break and then bloom again, just like roses do. Many modern daylilies are strongly recurrent and may have up to 5 rounds of flowering in a season. Older varieties may have less, a few flower only once a year. Dormants tend to be less recurrent but are bred to produce more blooms per scape when they do flower.
