I wanted something that would bloom all summer. I thought of something that would spread out. But I don't know. I would be planting this wood barrel in full sun. Barrels Cyndi Lou, Daylilies do very well in containers - as long as you remember to water them.
Containers dry out a lot more quickly than plants placed directly into the garden.
If you are planting in full sun I would also avoid red and purple cultivars, since these tend to fade in hot sun. Black Eyed Stella', 'Forsyth Lemon Drop' and 'Penny's Worth', bloom almost as continuously. All are yellow. I happen to hate the color of Stella - but you may like a gold color in a flower.
