Terri, they are quite easy to grow. Better still, daylilies are extremely hardy (generally speaking) once established! If you have acres to fill, do daylilies! You won't regret it. They are very addicting and part of why my husband and are looking at moving is so I can have more space to grow my daylilies.
Edited to add:
Yes, I pollinate them myself. The pollinating part is quite easy, it's the planning/labelling/database entries that are time-consuming and occasionally difficult.
