We'd like to invite you to come discover gardening's best kept secret, the modern daylily. Daylilies come in a wide range of color and a wide variety of shapes and sizes. Mini's are perfect for the front of the garden or as a border for a bed. Tall spiders are wonderful at the back of beds attracting attention and adding motion as they sway in the slightest breeze. Eyed and edged varieties punctuate a sea of solid colors with a dash of a contrasting color. Double daylilies draw you in for a closer look at the detail of their mass of extra petals and sepals. But more importantly what these wonderful plants have to offer is a lifetime of beauty with minimal care.
No matter what your tastes are there seems to be a style of daylily that will appeal to you. There are many wonderful classic daylilies that can be purchased for a very reasonable price (some as low as $5 a double fan). And there are newer daylilies that sell for as much $200 per fan if you want to collect the latest introductions. Most of these higher priced daylilies are purchased by collectors or hybridizers trying to get some new genetics into their breeding lines. I've always said that a gift of an order of daylilies is a triple treat. First you receive a notice saying that you will be(1) receiving a daylily (2) then you will receive your plant and finally (3) you get your third treat when your daylily blooms. And the best thing of all is that your gift will only get better with time. One clump of daylilies can go a long way in landscaping as you divide it over the years.
Hybridizing daylilies is very easy. If you are interested in creating a unique daylily of your own we encourage you to try. We'll be glad to show you how it's done. Age is no obstacle. There are some very young hybridizer's who have introduced daylilies of their own. We have some of these daylilies in our garden.
