Natalie - I loved your answer that 80,001 is one too many!
Thanks for the info about "other" plants in a daylily bed. My climate means very good plant growth, really fast. My beds look bare (with just foliage) after blooming season is over. I WOULD like to have other plants in those beds to keep the interest and color going, but am at a loss as to what would behave itself among my daylilies.
Any suggestions of colorful plants that stay small and have compact root systems would be greatly appreciated!
