Last week I received a daylily order that had been in the post for approx. 2 weeks. I don't know what went wrong, but that was what happened. Anyway, the upshot was that the plants were completely dried, no green on the leaves. They were big, husky plants with a good root system, though. I soaked them overnight, and planted the next morning and watered thoroughly. We then went into a heat wave with temperatures in the 90's. I kept them watered. I was surprised to see them turn green overnight. Within 24 hours they were shooting up green and this is a picture of them less then one week after I received the box. They were planted last Thursday afternoon, and I took this photo the following Wednesday morning. Daylilies sure are tough!
Planted in my holding bed.
The newly received plants are the five with the trimmed leaves, not the ones on the right at the back.
