Default Daylily growers?

Greetings Bob and all, Hemerocallis has become my favorite but I didn't
start out that way. I have probably about 600 daylilies with this years
purchases. I sell them locally and on the Internet but only in the US. My
gardens are on 6 acres of property. The display gardens are mixed perennials
with some herbs, a few roses and woody plants. My garden style is similar
to English Cottage style with an edging of daylilies. I like wild and
naturalized mixed borders with an emphasis on nature and wildlife habitat.
The only formal gardening bone in my body is a desire to one day plant a
knot garden.

I am located in the north-eastern third of the US, near Lake Erie. We have
adequate precipitation most years. July and August is sometimes very hot
and dry. I am located just across the lake from the south border of
Ontario, Canada. Temperatures here range from 80 F. [26 C] up to 100 F. [37
C] during summer and down to -10 F [-23 C] in the winter months. Though I
have seen -19 F [-28 C] in winter it is not the norm. I can't over winter
tender perennials. This year I am trying to over winter an "Arp" Rosemary
in a protected area of the garden. However I don't give it much hope of
surviving if our winter months are a cold as last year.


Thanks for the warning. I don't want to start any flame wars. Anything else
I should not mention? :-))
