Daylilies
Hi Melissa: been doing daylilies in pots many years.They are very hardy even tho I am near the Fl border in Al I have had some cold temps. I have had DL in pots above the ground survive temps down to 16degrees with no losses.If you have temps colder I would say leave in pot dig hole deep enough to put the pot in down to the rim and cover with thick layer of straw or hay this will protect the roots and crown from which new green fans will grow from when it gets warm.that all you need to do.when it gets warm in the spring after frosts lift the pots and new fans will soon emerge.Nothing to watch out for if you do the above.Just make sure you put down plenty of straw based on your forcasted coldest temp.If I can help in future send me a tree mail as I don't do this forum thing a lot.
