needrain said:One thing is certain. In order to determine which new plants will show vigor long term, someone has to grow them for a while. New daylily prices probably slow down the test. How long before a daylily introduction is no longer considered 'new'? Probably not long enough for a really broad test under widely varying growing conditions.

There's a sort of Catch-22 there, isn't there. The most I've ever paid for a daylily is $50, and I thought long and hard about that purchase.
We want new and exciting cultivars, but most of us have to wait until the prices drop, as inevitably, they will.
