What do I do with my plants when they arrive?

What do I do if I can't get my bare root plants in the ground right away? It is possible to store them out of the ground for up to two weeks, but bloom for that season may be lost. For short-term storage leave plants in the box in a cool shady place. For somewhat longer periods place the plants in a bucket, roots down, spray with water and leave just a couple of inches of water in the bottom of the bucket, again keep in a shady cool place. For longer storage daylilies can be potted up in soil or peat moss and grown on this way. |
|||
Can I temporarily plant daylilies and then move them? Yes, daylilies can be moved at any time during the growing season. Consider planting them at the edge of your vegetable garden for a season or two. The extra fertilizer and water you might give them may help them quickly attain a larger clump size. |

Claims received over three weeks after order was shipped will not be granted, unless there is a question of identity. It is the customer's responsibility to care for the plants upon receiving them. A Daylily Cultivation Guide will be included in every shipment. Please follow its instructions for best results. Our farm is in USDA Zone 4.
Color and Performance
We describe our daylilies as they perform on our farm. Please read the descriptions thoroughly, as the photos do not tell the whole story. Some difference in appearance and performance is to be expected in a new location and under different growing conditions. As there is no such thing as a blue daylily, a purple here is not the same as an Iris purple. Also, many daylilies contain some trace of yellow. We use industry standards to describe color.
