Is there anyone on this forum that grows their daylilies on land that sometimes floods, and possibly because it has a hardpan?
Some of my land is great and grows beautiful plants. But, if I'm going to breed amazing daylilies, I'll need to expand into areas where I'm not certain they'll thrive. This area is also where most of my sun is. I planted a river birch there a few years back, and last year that poor tree may have given up. Maybe it could withstand periodic flooding, but not the hardpan.
What do you think? I've seen on this forum where people keep daylilies in buckets of water for a while. Also, someone that plants them in a bog?
I've considered raised beds, but it's probably not an option. I don't mind hard work, but moving that much soil is beyond me. Not to mention the cost. Not to mention my reluctance to import soil.
I already planted a few of my new daylilies down there. (Not Rose, and I won't be putting Lillian there either!) I'm taking a chance, because I really love them.
