Some of my daylilies will bloom shortly after I receive them - although you are supposed to cut those scapes so they will form better root systems, which sometimes I do, sometimes I don't
Many will bloom the next year after getting them, and some take two years to settle in. Even then, it seems that they really don't give their best "show" until 2-3 years later. At least that is my experience here in southern WI ~Jan
