Clay Soil

My ground is clay. I needed to transplant some daylilies. I dug the holes about 10″ deep and wide. The ground was solid clay. I filled the holes with potting soil and the daylilies. I’m now questioning if they will make it in that soil. Please let me know if they should survive in the clay. Thank you.
