I can tell you yes, there are daylilies in the movie, but how much they are shown or how they are involved in the story, I do not know. Portions of the movie were shot in and around Augusta, Georgia, this past summer. Whatever portions showing daylilies, daylilies in a greenhouse, an outdoor area where many daylilies are grown or inside Mr. Sharp's home were taken at Shaw's Sunshine Garden which is in Augusta not far from I-520. A crew came in and changed things like the fence in front of the garden and some other things including inside the "house" (the garden office) to make it look more like the time period they wanted and came back after filming to put it back like it was before they arrived. I also have no idea which way they characterized Mr. Sharp - - like the old man dealing with dementia who didn't fully understand what he was doing or like the cunning old man who used his age and what he could get away with because of that to do what he did, both of which are mentioned in the New York Times article mentioned above. I think would have a bit of a problem thinking about Clint Eastwood playing the first of those options.
