I like the reasons that you list for growing daylilies in pots better than my reasons. Diana is feeling better, but she is still having trouble with her cough. When I got home I had a "doctor visit," and I made it there just in time. I must say again how much fun we had in coming to visit. I would say to anyone reading this note: Visit Browns Ferry Gardens. You will be delighted with what you see.<br />BillBill Waldrophttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18012064602543142108noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-888299989065786666.post-23613004079031506052011-03-14T18:56:33.482-07:002011-03-14T18:56:33.482-07:00Hi Jim,

Many of their customers are from "up north," and the plants are easier to transport in containers. Second, Charles and Heidi have plenty of water, and water is not a problem in keeping the daylilies fresh. Third, the plants are mature and have been separated, two plants to a pot. Easier to manage with two fans per plant. I'm sure that Charles has other reasons, but these are the reasons that I would suppose that Charles might list.<br />Thanks for the question.<br />BillBill Waldrophttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18012064602543142108noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-888299989065786666.post-36226751375672788932011-03-14T09:48:11.880-07:002011-03-14T09:48:11.880-07:00Jim,

We have 16 displays beds. Half of them get dug each year for sale.<br /><br />Bill,<br />Thanks so much for coming. The club really enjoyed your presentation and we really enjoyed being able to spend time with you and Diana. I hope she is feeling better this morning.<br />See you soon!Heidi Douglashttp://www.brownsferrygardens.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-888299989065786666.post-48806285055362063112011-03-14T09:21:20.418-07:002011-03-14T09:21:20.418-07:00Jim,this is Heidi.

We grow them in containers for several reasons. #1 we have a walk in business and it is much easier to have a customer walk out with a pot of daylilies then have to dig it for everyone.<br />#2We find the daylilies that are shipped recoup much faster when coming out of pots because their roots are less disturbed. <br />#3 Potting them in the fall for sale in the spring leaves us with much more time for other things and when customers are here we have time to take care of all of them instead of digging all day.<br />Hope that answers your question.Heidi Douglashttp://www.brownsferrygardens.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-888299989065786666.post-79109148303405735042011-03-14T07:31:42.802-07:002011-03-14T07:31:42.802-07:00Bill, why do they grow plants in containers and no...Bill, why do they grow plants in containers and not in the ground?
