I began last year to plant a few day lillies. I am now hooked and just purchased some more. I found an online nursery that just sells day lillies and the variety is endless. The bare root plants are a huge size for the price. Better prices than I have paid before even including the shipping cost.
Here they are.

Pearlgirl ....Thank-You for all the info ...I checked the Montfort site & couldn't believe the variety ....It will be hard to decide :)
Hemerocallis info:
If your hem (hemerocallis) fans arrive by mailorder, they are more than likely laying "bare root" in the box. Even shipments delayed for a week or more will bounce back to life and surprise you. They travel very well, feeding on the nutrients stored in their tuberous roots.
Immediately unpack your fans and soak the roots for at least one hour in a pail of water before planting.
Select a nice sunny spot for your daylily. A shaded area of your garden will also suffice as long as it receives four to six hours of sun a day.
Plant early in the morning or evening. Prepare a hole, a bit larger than the root area, and enrich soil if necessary. If you have no time for this, pot the hem in a one gallon container temporarily. I have found that potting weak and/or tiny looking plants gives them an extra special start. Potting is also a good idea if your plants have been received in the heat of summer, as they can be put in the shade for a couple of weeks to get established. There are usually a few of such plants on my picnic table during the summer months, and it's amazing how quickly they adapt and become robust with a little extra TLC. I use the same sterile potting soil that goes into my flower boxes.
Just before planting trim roots back 10% as it will promote growth. Also trim the foliage to 6" or 8" to divert energies to root development. Living in the North, it is important to establish additional root growth to anchor the plant well, prior to winter. If planted too late, it may heave in the Spring. Here in the North I stop planting after Labor Day for that reason.
Starting at the bottom of the hole, mound up the soil in a pyramid. The roots of your new arrival can be opened up like a skirt and gently spread around the mound. Don't plant too deep.
They arrived bare root with the tops cut down to about 6". I was impressed with the large root mass. They ship Canada Post Expedited Parcel. I can never decided when I go to their site, there is such a variety. Most of the ones I buy are rebloomers. Check the abbreviations on the site to find out what it means. I bought some dark colours last spring so went for the lighter this year. :)
