Lilylady, most people that have bought daylilies for awhile know that the northern sellers will (usually) not send the great leeks of the south, unless they are green house grown. Even the huge fans of the south will shrink under most regular garden conditions. Just tell folks you are in the north and make sure you mention in the listing if the fans usually run small so that people know what to expect.
These are all Lily Auction (LA) sellers from whom I have personally bought seeds and was satisfied with what I received. I put this list together in 2009 and some of them may not sell seeds at this point.
