I bought them four days ago. They sat in the pots with good soil in the sun, but I made sure they had water, too. The frons are turning yellow. They are supposed to be planted in full sun. Too much water? I am planting them in the ground right now.

Shock and stress will cause some yellowing in daylilies. Go ahead and plant them in the ground. These are very forgiving plants. Well water well until the plant is established. You can also use a root starter on them to lessen the shock.

So I am wondering if the plants you bought were fresh dug or container grown. If they were dug for sale and stuffed into a pot it is no surprise they are stressing out. Container grown plants should not be turning yellow but it could happen in an afternoon if they got extremely dry, or, if the plants were grown too close together and the bases of the leaves had no exposure to sunlight in the nursery. You could diagnose this latter condition if the base of the leaves is very pale green or white.
They will most likely be fine. Make sure you are not over or underwatering them this summer and plan for a better look next year.

They have just finished blooming and do not need a lot of water now. They should not be turning yellow yet. Cut back on water but realize that they may be going through shock. This is the wrong time to transplant them (August/September).
