NewYork Rita had them along her drive on Long Island and they were beautiful.

I have seen them lining driveways and like them.

Thanks for the comments :).

Is NewYork Rita someone who frequents this forum? Maybe I can find an old post of hers with a picture.

I did two beds on my drive back in Texas.

Can't find a picture of the front bed. Sorry.

That drive is so long! Thanks for sharing. I'm worried that mine might turn out looking cluttered if I have lots of daylilies lined up along the length both sides like little soldiers. My drive is maybe 2 car lengths long and it's a pretty standard 2 car garage, whatever the width for that is, same for my drive (maybe an extra foot or two). Oh, I was also thinking of mixing in irises for variety, and anything else with similar foliage (liriope maybe?)

Glad I caught my phone's autocorrect magic...I certainly do not want to mix in a pothole...

"I'm worried that mine might turn out looking cluttered if I have lots of daylilies lined up along the length both sides like little soldiers."

I've seen this done and I don't care much for it. I have seen some long mono-colored drifts of daylilies adjacent to a drive that I felt was very attractive.

I like to use grasses and other plants which will clump. Iris will run on you, so you would have to watch it. Iris foliage is a pale blue green, don't know if it will compliment the daylilies that well. In the other bed, I used coryeopsis and ruellia with the daylilies. Purple cone flowers works well with gold/orange daylilies. Whatever you use, I suggest not crowding, but leave some space so the plants have separate identities. Also try to stagger blooming periods so something is always in bloom. Have fun, good luck, Ed

You said you didn't care for the daylilies lined up along the length of both sides, but you did like "long mono-colored drifts". What do you mean by "long drifts"? How is that different than being lined up? If you have a picture (of either one - what you like and what you don't), I'd be interested in seeing it :) I know some irises have foliage similar to daylilies (though not all). Those were the ones I was thinking of (japanese or maybe siberian iris I think?) Anyway, I also posted a thread in landscape design for this with a picture in case you want to see the area I'm working with. Thanks for the response and the well wishes!

I saw the picture but I'm still not sure I understand how a drift differs from a line of flowers. Is it that it's got a curve instead of straight? Anyway, I think I've decided against putting them along my driveway. It would probably end up looking like a landing strip with my luck. I'm back to thinking either the side of the house or the back yard. What's the minimum amount of light they would need? Wondering if the south would get too shaded by the neighboring house and tree.

A drift is a bunch of the same. I think you could do color, or maybe pastels or hot colors and still be a drift. As opposed to a line of different daylilies.

I do remember being upset when the children walking thru the neighborhood would walk thru my beds and mess with the plants. Plus there's always that visitor that can't back their car up very well and run into your flower beds along the dive. I'll agree that I would prefer another location besides the drive for a flower bed. A kidney shaped bed is a favorite. I suggest staying away from large trees as much as possible. Daylilies like at least 6 hours of direct sunlight daily for best performance. I prefer morning sun and afternoon shade, especially for the darker flowers. They really suffer by the end of the day.

I have a row (two actually) of daylilies along the driveway. And honestly (and I love daylilies :D) it looks junky. If they were all the same variety or at least 2 alternating it probably will look nice.

But I don't really care and I have so little room, I see a spot I put a daylily

How about some curving beds with other perennials?
