Shannon, you have to keep checking the Maryott site. I try to check the first of each week once he starts the weekly specials. He does not change them every week, so you just have to keep checking back. You could make his site one of your favorites.

Right now the AHS is offering half a year membership again for $15. You get two issues of the Daylily Journal (a great magazine) and a password for the AHS Portal but not the voucher for the daylily. You have to join for a full year (new members only or upgrade your membership) to get the voucher. The full year membership is $25 and the voucher is worth $25. With the full year membership you get all 4 issues of the Daylily Journal.

Hi Pam! I pot up new daylilies when we receive them and keep them in a shady area that I call the "holding area". This way I can keep them watered until I am ready to plant them. I add some slow release fertilizer and sometimes milorganite to the soil mix when I pot them. Make sure that you use a mix that has good drainage or you can add some sand. I tend to leave them in pots longer than I had originally planned! I have done this for daylilies that I want to take to future plant sales, too. Once dug and divided, the foliage is trimmed before potting them up. I will say that I have more success with planting them in the ground somewhere if they were going to stay in pots for a long time. I plan to move some out of beds (plan to redo these beds) this fall or late summer to increase them for plant sales next year and the following year. I will plant these in the ground until time to sell them. If they were going to be sold in a few months, I would just pot them up. Hope this helps.
