Thank you all for getting back to me! I've already been browsing a bit, right now my eye is drawn to the bright clear red ones, but that may not be my final answer. Thinking
Most packages and mail for my area are routed through Phoenix, so this is not a good time to ship plants. Maybe in the Fall.
I live in a town in Arizona, over 5,000 ft elevation. We have cold-ish winters. I generally look for plants that will survive down to 0-10 degrees F. It's not always that cold, but it can be. We get some snow, it's usually gone within a few days. I haven't shoveled the driveway since I retired but have sometimes stayed home while it melts off.
We have some big box stores and local nurseries but no daylily specialists. Phoenix and Tucson are great for cactus and succulents, but I'll be looking online for my daylily. Oakes looks good, Thanks FlowersGalore.
I'm right in town but still get lots of wildlife. Deer on occasion, javelina regularly, also skunks, raccoons, coyotes, squirrels, chipmunks, packrats, mice and lots of insects. And birds, of course. I'm a survival-of-the-fittest type gardener, so was very happy when my "ditch lilies" came back and bloomed.
Native soil here is rocky clay, I'll probably start with a big container.
I'm enjoying planning a bit of gardening! Thanks for getting back to me.
Thank You!
