Lightbulb one of my nicest daylillies...

is a deep copper thing, I bought as seeds from Park Seed eons ago.

I wintered them in the frig according to directions, and they all sprouted easily. (in a plastic baggie with a moist paper towel )

Now they have spread and give me beautiful deep copper/maroon flowers.
I don't even know their name. They bloom after the early yellows, and after my wild ones.

The little new Stella D'oro will bloom more than once if you cut the seed pods
off.

There is a seller on Ebay with an auction for 50 seeds mixed for .99 starting.
If you type daylily seeds into their search it comes up.

A great way to get hardy easy care plants...if you are willing to invest in time.
I think all daylily need cold stim before germination. (but some varieties may not need that.) Mine did.
