Hi Jan and Lin,
Thanks for the welcome. The most important thing you have to know about growing daylilies here is that you must select the evergreen varieties. There are dormants, semi-evergreens and evergreens. Do not buy daylilies from the box stores. There are lots of daylily sellers in our area. Most daylillies are mail order and are shipped bare root. Check out this link.....

This is from my club's website, the Bay Area Daylily Society. It has good information on growing daylilies. There is also a page on this site with local seller information.
Good luck with your daylilies and let me know if I can help you with them.
