Actually, daylilies do best if they get a lot of water -- I have heard
that an inch a week is optimal.

One caution on extensive undeplanting with daffodils in a perennail bed:
daffodils do not flourish in the summer with lots of wter--they will
tend to
rot instead, since they are largely dormant in the hot summer months.
If you
plan to water these beds a lot during the summer, rethink using
daffodils. I
do plant daffodils between daylilies extensively, but daylilies are so
hearty
they survive without any moisture other than rainfall. That's the ideal
for a
daffodil planting. One gardener I know of planted a rose border around
a
daffodil bed. The watering of the roses wiped out all the daffodils in
two
years.
