Interesting subject. I moved from Massachusetts to Maine last July. I was forced to leave many of my daylilies when we sold the house. First I would say that you plant for the following year. As others have said it takes awhile for the plants to to overcome the shock of removal and transplanting. I have found that the larger the fans and root structure the faster and better the recovery will be. A single fan can survive but takes so much longer to develop the needed root base to support blooming.
Planting new daylilies in the spring will insure a good bloom the following year. I along with a lot of other gardeners have got dl on the internet. Find reputable growers that provide good strong scapes and healthy plants.
Flowers and dreams take time to develop.

Thanks for taking time to reply, thankfully I am a patient person and always take into account that the first season of a planting may not
be a full blooming display, so I will see what happens, and I may even plant more next year in a sunnier area because I have enough room
and will buy from a reputable grower. I never give up! And have always heard Daylilies are easy to grow if you meet their needs.
