Daylilies are seldom seen growing in my immediate area. Not sure why, exactly, but water requirements and the fact that this just isn't gardening country are my best guesses. Farming, ranching, but not gardening. When I've seen the occasional daylily, it's been clearly an older type and generally looks very similar to 'ditch lilies' from a distance though I haven't examined them up close. When I buy any daylily, old or new, high dollar or cheap, it's taking a chance on an unknown. Wait - I've seen Stella d'Oro growing a couple of times. Unfortunately, as daylilies go, I don't find it very appealing except from a distance.
