Pottsey:
I agree with Ginny that in beds 2-foot by one-half foot, it would be best to
plant daylilies alone as just a few plants will easily spead to fill that
space.
But you might want to consider planting spring-flowering bulbs, especially
daffodils, with the daylilies. I find the two are perfect companions. In the
spring the daffodils put on a nice display and just as that is ending, the
daylily foliage is coming up and hides the fading daffodil leaves. Then the
daylilies take over the show. The leaves are silmilar enough and the timing
perfect enough that this is a seamless transition.
It is easiest to plant both the daylilies and daffodils together in the fall.
But I have successfully planted daffodil bulbs into established daylily beds
without much difficulty. You could plant your daylilies now and add the bulbs
in the fall if you don't plant the daylilies too close together.
