This is my main interest at the moment...old, cheap, great performing daylilies. I love old, and cheap, but only if they are also great performers, and I don't think many daylilies would have a 15 year plus history in thousands of gardens across the country if they did not perform well. Being fairly new to daylilies I was fortunate enough to land here at ATP and realized I needed to do a lot of research before making most of my daylily purchases, so most of my plants (two years or less) have been purchased with rust resistance, and performance in mind, based on mostly the $5.00 range of daylilies.
But I have learned here also that probably three years is a minimum to get to know the performance of a daylily in my garden. Most all of my plants are not that old, and none of the ones I actually did research on and purchased as a result of that research are over two years old. So I can't really add anything to the lists based on experience yet. But I will scrutinize this thread, in the search of future plants and want to thank anyone who posts and thank bluegrassmom for starting this thread!
I would like to encourage any comments you might have on any cultivar listed, the comments seem to really sway me in making decisions about these plants.
