Would anyone care to comment on how much abuse daylilies can withstand? I
received 25 small plants on Tuesday that someone had sent me from the
garden exchange. Since they were bareroot, I needed to plant them right
away. However, I am in Kentucky (zone 6) where winter is still going on.
Fortunately it is about 48 degrees and sunny today so I could get them in
the ground. Some of them I put into pots to transplant at a more opportune
time. But some of them I put directly into very wet ground. I simply had
no other choice.
I know daylilies are supposed to be one of the toughest perennials on the
planet, but can they withstand this much torture? This is my first
experience with them, and I want it to be a good one if possible. I know
this was not the ideal time for this, but they were a gift from a very nice
person, and I hate to look a gift horse in the mouth.
Thanks for the help,
Amy Newkirk
