I have a bunch of daylilies left over from a sale sitting in a container with water (mosquito dunk sprinkles added)
that are in semi-shade and the dang things have started blooming.
There is no added fertilizer or anything.
Of course these are CHEAP daylilies.
I've planted others out in the Florida sun and used ample shade cloth over them,
kept them watered and they seem to be doing fine.
How well a plant adapts depends too on how it was grown prior to you receiving it.
