I realize this is an older thread, but I have a question on dormancy and growing daylilies indoors... everywhere I have read, folks advise against growing daylilies indoors, period (and with quite the conviction). I have seen comments that dormants, and many SE and EV varieties require cold periods for general health as well as to bloom. Recently, I asked about advice concerning some young seedlings I have in pots that I fear will not make it thru a harsh winter here in NW Michigan (zone 5 with zone 4 temps from time to time).. my inclination was so bring them indoors and then plant outdoors in spring... not a single person in the group who responded felt that was a viable option, because of dormancy considerations.
My question is this, are there dormancy (or other) considerations that would prohibit me from growing seedlings or adult daylilies indoors until they bloom, if I am inclined to do so? From my point of view, and my limited experience I do not see why I cannot grow daylilies in pots indoors for an extended period as long as I provide suitable lighting, container size, growing media, nutrients, etc.. Am I missing something...
Any thoughts appreciated,
Jeff
