James, Thanks for your response. We have few days with snow cover here, just cold and often windy. Perhaps two or three inches of bark mulch would have the same effect, I do have a few evergreens purchase from Earlybird, that have survived two winters with the bark mulch. Perhaps a year or two waiting to see how it fairs for others in the North would be prudent, although, this flower, being the first Daylily to peak my wifes interest, could lead her to join me in collecting new Daylilies
