I have a 3-tiered bed in which I am currently growing my newest daylily hybrid seedlings. I DO have Dianthus growing in the top bed around the foot of a statue in that same bed. But Dianthus do spread a LOT, so I am afraid to plant them IN with my daylilies. I tend to crowd my daylilies all together (maybe too much), so I need plants like the Snapdragons that don't spread. I also have amaryllis in with the daylilies. They bloom earlier to start the Spring/Summer show. I always purchase the Amaryllis bulbs when they go on clearance at Walmart for half price. I got Snapdragons at Wally World also for .59 each! They were clearanced and very healthy looking! Other big box stores and local nurseries also clearance a lot of their plants which I also will buy. And I do grow a lot of plants from seeds! I grow Milkweed for the Monarchs from seeds every year and will grow a few in the daylily raised beds. I actually enjoy growing many plants from seeds or rooted cuttings. Saves me a lot of money! So don't overlook sprinkling some seeds around after the last frost! (Or even in the Fall.) Seeds are pretty cheap compared to plants. Just a suggestion to those like me, who garden on a tight budget!
And another plant that looks really pretty with daylilies is Poppies! They start the show in early Spring and then the Daylilies take over in late Spring through Summer. I grow all those from seeds too that I sprinkle in my daylily bed in Winter.
