Years ago I had a spring order that was shipped but not received. After two weeks of no show the seller reshipped the order which arrived on time. Those plants were planted and the original order considered lost in space. Two weeks later a crushed box arrived on my doorstep...the original order four weeks late. I figured the plants were done for but decided to look inside anyhow. They were totally dry and the foliage had turned pure white. There was no rot smell or mold so I trimmed them a little and put them in a pail of water in the shade. A few days later there were new green leaves starting to show. They were planted after a few more days and went on to outgrow the second shipment of the same plants and bloomed that summer. The seller said to keep everything and not worry about it. The second shipment, of healthy plants, was donated to our club auction the next year as donated by the seller, felt it was the right thing to do. Daylilies are pretty forgiving of the majority of our human errors.
Your plants are growing great!
they bloom this year for you.
