Analysis

Daylilies turn a simple 13x13 dining room from Mediocre to Very Impressive at the cost of work.
All buildings placed are of normal quality.

Daylilies are a quick and cheap way to increase a room's beauty, and therefore, impressiveness. You don't even need a plant pot; keeping a patch of dirt, or simply keeping your entire floor as dirt, saves on having to build a pot in the first place.

In essence, they are a way to turn work time into positive moodlets, before you can build sculptures for a more permanent mood increase. Daylilies take more work to maintain than roses. However, daylilies have a higher beauty. With a higher beauty per time sowing, they are better if you are growing multiple flowers in a single, centralized area.

As shown in the picture, planting daylilies can have a large impact. With this example, colonists will gain a net +10 mood - +5 as a dining room, and +5 as a rec room. Filth would quickly lower this room back down to Somewhat impressive. But the simple addition of 3 dining chairs will bring this room up to 94 Impressiveness, which is enough to prevent small specks of filth from lowering it further.
