The bulbs, roots, and crowns in dark plastic bags are back on the shelf at my local Walmart. Spring will soon be here!
I have never bought any daylilies in bags. I will admit that I wait months later for some of the bulbs that are bagged plants to be clearanced. But have never purchased daylily crowns/roots. You can not see inside the bags because they are dark green or black. So I was feeling around the bag to try to determine how big the plant roots/crown were. And I could feel some roots and what I suspected was leaves. So I took a chance at $5 per bag (which includes 3 crowns with roots) and bought 2 different cultivars.
I purchased Frosted Vintage Ruffles and Final Touch. Both are dormants, but I have several daylilies listed as dormants and they have done well here after 2 years. For $5 each bag of 3 plants, I figured it wasn't too much money wasted if they didn't survive and thrive.
Here is what was in the bags. I have them in plastic containers soaking in SuperThrive and Spring Water:
Frosted Vintage Ruffles
Final Touch
Has anyone else here ever purchased these bagged daylilies from places like Walmart? If so, how did your plants do and did they appear to be the correct cultivar?
