Betty – You should have some nice blooms by next year. If you are doing short crosses that should give you a good idea of what crosses work the best for your program. As for room, daylilies grow in clumps so planting them close together is no problem.
I like using 1-gal pots for certain crosses, it also makes it easier to remove unwanted seedlings.
The northern program has just begun and I would say Rudy may have 50 or 60 to evaluate, these will be seen this summer after the southern blooms have stopped. My garden will have 6 or 7 possible new introductions, and a larger number than usual evaluation’s due to fact I’m working with some of the orange daylilies.
