Hi @Barbalee! Congrats on your move! Welcome!

I envy you your planting space! Personally, I would get all your beds ready while you wait and see what you get in the way of daylilies. Think about your beds - do you want just daylilies or do you also want spring color? How about "winter interest" as they call it? Since you just moved back, take a trip around your neighborhood and see what other people have growing that looks nice to you. When I first moved up here, I learned the hard way that just because things were marked for this zone or for sale at a local nursery didn't mean they would grow here. I still experiment (just can't help myself), but for the most part if I'm really hesitant to invest a large $$ amount in one plant/tree if I can't see it in the ground here. As I am not the most patient type and want instant flowerification (sort of like gratification, but with blooms Green Grin! ), I tend to grab flats of annuals so I can have SOMETHING to look at while I wait. and plan. and wait. and wait. Did I mention wait? Geez winters here seem soooooooo long sometimes.

Anyway, good luck on whatever you decide...and remember to post pictures of all projects big or small... a success is a success!
