Kabby, have a look at Seed's recent article. I think a good alternative is to combine daylilies with other plants. That way something is always happening and you are not a feeling like a drudge to daylilies.
I do my garden like Seed's and I have 100's of daylilies, which I am quite fanatical about. I run chillies, eggplant, chard, squash, sunflower, herbs, asparagus, paw paws, tomatoes, radish, and annuals between them.
