Website Maintenance Shutdown

The website will be shutdown for making orders from February 10th to February 21st. You will not be able to make orders at that time due to a major website overhaul. Orders will be accepted up to February 10th and then again once the update is finished, which could be before February 21st if all goes well. Thank you for your patience. 

WELCOME

The daylily catalogs for 2025 have been updated and orders may be placed at this time. The Japanese iris catalogs will be updated soon. We will open for the gardening season on Saturday May 10th at our sales shop and the gardens, and will remain open until Monday, September 1st, 2025. We will be open for the season daily 9:00-6:00.

Hybridizing Daylilies

I didn't plan to get into hybridizing daylilies, I just wanted to leave that for the experts and I'd content myself with collecting and selling what other hybridizers were developing. Then, international hybridizer Ted Petit and his wife Susan, visited my garden and told me I needed to hybridize. I have been working on a few plants every year and usually get 100 to 200 seeds. Because my property is extremely rocky that's about all I can handle for space to plant new plants because it takes weeks to prepare a new bed. Daylilies are very easy to hybridize.

PEAK BLOOM

We expect peak bloom for the Japanese irises to run from the first week of July to the end of July. The extra early daylilies usually begin blooming in June and the early varieities will start around the 2nd week of July.  Peak bloom for daylilies will be the last week of July and the first 2 weeks of August. We hope you'll drop by, maybe even more than once!
