Maryl said: If you are going to take your daylilies inside, here's what I would suggest. Let them stay outside for as long as you can while letting the foliage begin to die back. When really cold temperatures begin to move in for days at a time I bring mine inside regardless of how the foliage is....... Dormant or mostly so daylilies require very little water.

Thank you, this is what I need to know! I have dozens of daylilies in buckets, and I can overwinter those tipped on their sides and buried in leaf mulch. It's the smaller, costlier ones that I'm worried about, but I've never overwintered the smaller containers before, nor have I ever overwintered in the garage. It's attached, but unheated and windowless, though it's probably a better option than leaving them outside.
