I have Spacecoast Starburst - I love it and it is a good parent. Susan Pritchard Petit didn't do much in our garden the first year. Maybe it will be better this spring.

You are so lucky to be getting such mature clumps!

I was checking out a few that I wasn't familiar with and one was called Pastor James. It is on the lily auction for $100. I couldn't believe it, they said it is very rare and the clump I got was huge. I also saw Buzz Saw and will dig it next time it looks awsome also, so much fun. Glad to hear good things about some of them! Thanks for all info, this place is so nice and friendly, Theresa

Sounds like you had a blast.

On a related note, what do people mean by "line out" in reference to daylilies? I've seen it on seller sites from time to time, and I get the feeling that it has to do with growing a cultivar to the point where you have enough plants to sell.

Thanks,
Nate

Wow, sounds great. You must have a lot of room to get so many large clumps.

Flowergirl, that's fantastic. Maybe I missed an earlier post,but where are you finding all these huge clumps of daylilies? I'm curious, also what "lining out" means. I always envisioned the seller taking off what they were going to sell and putting it in a certain spot ready for sell.

I purchased an entire 15 year collection of daylilies from a seller/collector. It's an 1 1/2 hours from our home, we bought it last year and moved 600 clumps and finally got to start moving the last of it which is about 400 or so. I guess lining out at least to me is breaking up a huge plant into 1 or 2 fan pieces. They can grow that way until you sell or trade them or whatever it is you want to do. I'm no expert that's for sure. We have a farm in the country where we're going to start a daylily business. It all just started last year but I'm excited.
That's about it, Theresa

I'm growing Pink Super Spider, but only put it in my garden last fall, so I can't testify to its growth pattern. I had seen it in bloom earlier in the season, though, and it really is a beautiful daylily.

Theresa is right, lining out is dividing clumps into usually single fans and put in easily accessable rows for selling. This is usually done in the fall so they fans will have recovered and started to multiply by spring.

I was wondering about these 72 that I moved yesterday. Last fall we lined out the 600 clumps but that was in the fall after they bloomed, should I just plop the clumps from yesterday into the ground and divide them after they bloom. It seems like it would be less stressful and I've got plenty of other things to keep me busy.
Love an answer, Thanks as always

I have Spacecoast Starburst. It does okay here but not a super performer. I got(freebie) last year during the AHS Region 4 meeting Bluebird Sky. Hopefully I'll see it bloom this year.

Maybe digging and replanting the entire clump and then going back and digging it back up in the fall and dividing it then might be alot more stress on the plant than if you just dig,clean,divide and replant your single/double fans and allow them the entire growing season to adjust and be well established before winter sets in. It would also mean you'd have to maintain more plants if you lined out early.

Whatever happens, good luck with your new adventure. Sounds wonderful.
