Daylily Grab Bag

11 years ago

I found a plant sale given by our local Daylily Society. They don't list what they will be selling, but did list they will be selling "the popular Grab Bags". What does that mean? I'm just starting out and I have an area of my property marked off in a long rectangle grid. I want to plant a different color in each section of the grid. Do grab bags usually have multiple colors in one bag? Are they worth a purchase? I am just starting out and this is a hobby of mine. I don't have a lot of money to start out. I am sure as it evolves I will want to try more expensive types. I just want to progress and figured this would be a good start.

Not sure what a grab bag is, probably something your local daylily club uses. But if you want specific colors, I suggest you buy individual plants. Pay attention to heights and foliage types. Southern zones use more evergreens while northern zones have more dormants.

There must be a reason the grab bags are 'popular.' Grab one and find out. Report back.

Our clubs have auctions of newer cultivars but if a plant does not sell at auction it goes into a grab bag where the whole bag is sold. Some clubs ask their members to bring daylilies for a sale and some go into a grab bag, where you will get several varieties for a single price.
