The message
from PAMBLOC (Derek Carver) contains these words:

The best time to move daylilies is "When you've got time"

They are nature's easiest of plants to move. You can even leave them out of
the ground for ages and they will still get going again.

Remember to split the clump. There's no sense in replanting large sections
because they increase quite readily.

But if I might presume to give a bit of advice is don't overfill your garden
with the very old varieties. Modern (and I mean the past 30 years)
cultivars
give much more flower value. It might mean going to specialist
suppliers but
you'll find it worth it, believe me. We now have over 600 of such
varieties.

Sounds lovely Derek..have you got any website pics for the urgring?
Maybe you could give me some recommendations..I'd like some daylilies in
shades of very dark red (a sort of blackish red) and dark purple, as
long flowering as possible. As I live by the sea I need varieties with
strong flower stems. Could you also recommend a supplier?
