Which daylilies would be hardy in a zone 5 bog?

I am in the process of creating a bog garden, from a former water feature. I've read that some daylilies are excellent in the bog, and others rot and die.

Anyone have any ideas which daylilies would be good for a sunny bog in zone 5? You help is most appreciated.

I would think most of them.

Do you remove the soil?

No, otherwise it wouldn't be a bog, but rather a pond. Just stick it in, and see what happens.

I did put several varieties in, those that were described as landscaping type that would take wet or dry. They seem to be doing quite well, having spread their roots into the bog. They don't come up with a gentle tug, at least.

When they bloom, I'll try to post a picture.
