I have a lot of shade and have had very limited luck putting daylilies there. If they get morning sun and avoid the hot afternoon sun, then they do well. Of course the ones that tend to fade or melt in the sun would be my first choice of ones to move to a shadier location and see how they would do there. I know I want to move 'Soothsayer', it fades very quickly in the sun. I would like to try Carlotta in a little more shade also. I do have 'Irish Envy' and 'Filled with Joy' under the shade of a 'Crape Myrtle' and they have done extremely well, the others in that bed have not been up to par though. In the heavier shade of another 'Crape Myrtle' due to the angle of the sun during the day, the daylilies as a whole underperform.
