Do those need full sun?
I love those but have never tried planting any for fear of my black thumb. I’m trying to improve on my growing skills.

AFM, they are happy in full sun, but will do OK in shade.

They’re quite hardy here in SW Ohio — you can’t kill ‘em.

You can cut those “black thumbs off” paint them pink or your favorite color ... and still the daylillies will flourish.

I've been at this gardening bit for a long long long time ... since mobydick was a guppy .. and I have never found a plant that thrives despite how much I may neglect it. And then it mocks me as an all knowing gardener and rewards me with unbridled beauty and I didn't even have to raise a finger to bring it about.

The one difficulty ... is obvious in this thread. Everyone has hundreds of divisions to find a place for. I am a plantaholic and have a hard time discarding any plant. With daylilies, I just force myself to do it.

I've got several hundred divisions as well .... its daylilly funeral time in a few days if I cannot find a local taker.
