Daylilies in our area don't need to be divided regularly as they grow much slower than they do in the south. I have not divided any of mine just for bloom. I have divided a few to share or to spread around the yard, or just to decrease the size of a clump, but never for bloom. And they do make a wonderful hillside planting.

Ultasol, I dig or divide daylilies in the fall rather than the spring (way too muddy here right now!) but we have a vacation house in Othello, and the daylilies and iris thrive there... you will do well with them. We have quite a few iris over there that could use a bit of division next fall as well, so keep in touch and maybe we can work something out!

This is a bad pic as it was taken from the top of the shop, but this is the start of my "daylily retention wall" behind DH's shop. Most are just common old fashioned varieties that I bought in bulk just to keep the top of the wall from eroding. I am slowly adding more plants to the lower section.
