Sherry, sorry, NO I don't grow any of those (and I could use you as a witness that I DON'T have every single daylily on the planet, according to my hubby!). I did look them up out of curiousity and they are pretty so I see why you couldn't resist the impulse! Two of those are by Petit; almost all my Petits do very well for me. So you took a chance, which I have done countless times with both roses and daylilies, and most of the time everything does just fine and I am surprised and relieved. When I first got into daylilies I didn't even know that there were daylilies that weren't suited for my climate. I ordered a few mega-orders from warmer places and stupidly selected the prettiest faces there were, without researching first. Some now reside in forum member's gardens in warmer states and some are still here doing just fine. I say, you won't know until you try! Best of luck and hopefully somebody else in a cold zone can chime in.

Sherry, you may do just fine. As Celeste has said, Sometimes the ones you think wn't make it do just fine. I noted that Oliver Billingsley said in one of his books that you could not go by the classification of Dormant, evergreen and semi-evergreen too determine if a plant would do well in your garden...some do well where they shouldn't.

Thanks for the encouragement! I do have some that are classified as semi evergreen and they do fine here so far. I got into trouble like you do Kay, on the Lily auction! $32 for all four, double fans, shipping included. You are right, Celeste, I couldn’t resist.

Sherry - I saw those postings on the Lily Auction with the three bonus plants. It was very tempting, but I did not bite. I couldn't do the summer delivery. It's too brutally hot here for that. I seem to remember New York Rita grew Purple Maze, but I don't remember if she had problems with it. I bought Mystical Intuition this spring from a woman in Oregon who said it was hardy for her (Hemerocallie).
