[Sept.16, 2009]
I'm reworking this bed. It had a few isolated Daylilies in it, but I added a variety pack with 10 more rebloomers. See below for details.
The soil was still the solid dirt that the landscapers built up the bed with 10 years ago, so I mixed some compost with it for
better drainage.
I also added some slow-release fertilizer "pills" between the plants, so no fertilizing will be needed for a couple of years.

I was so impressed with the way the above Daylilies came up that I ordered another set.
These are planted by some other Daylilies in the southwest bed by the Bradford Pear tree.
