Has anybody ever seen this before. Part of my daylily plant is variagated. It looks really cool. I've had this same plant in the same spot for a couple of years and this is the first time this has happened. What would cause this and will it continue to do this in future years? I can't remember the variety - maybe "Bruce", but I'll have to check sometime. Here is the link to a photo:

Hi,
Variegation in daylily foliage happens one in awhile. Sometimes it is stable, sometimes not. There are a few cultivars with stable variegation that are fairly popular. Variegated parts of plants are usually not as vigorous as their normal green counterparts. I would dig and separate the plant to give the variegated part a better chance of growing larger and coming back next year. Remy
