Prices are a function of quality, distinction and rarity. It may simply mean that it is more scarce and in demand from collectors. We would like to suggest, therefore, that you not use price as a guideline for quality as you peruse our catalog. All the daylilies we offer will do well in zones 7 and 8, and most will do well in zones 8 through 4. If you have a question about a particular cultivar's hardiness, E-mail us and we will give you an idea of how it should perform in your area.
Daylilies are tough and can withstand a good deal of neglect.
However, they respond strongly to ideal conditions. Ideal conditions include a pH from 6 to 7, lots of organic matter with a good friable, well-drained soil, high fertility, and lots of water during the initial growth period and blooming period. Daylilies should be planted at least a month before a hard frost in the fall. In the spring, they do best if planted into warm soil.
