Welcome to Our 2012 Website!

Dear Friends,

THANK YOU for your continued support and confidence in our plants!

We are a family owned and operated garden doing all the work ourselves, and we strive to send you a large healthy plant. Our plants are grown in the garden in good organic clay soil which has been amended for over 30 years. We grow many newer introductions which are too new to list. So if you are looking for a particular cultivar check with us, we just may have it. Descriptions in our catalogue are brief, using only the information in the AHS checklist - to save space!

We send our catalogue free of charge to all previous customers within the past 3 years. Anyone else wishing to receive a copy must send $3.00 to help cover the cost of publishing and mailing -- which is fully refunded on your first order.

Look for lists in the center of our catalogue or here on our web site. Since we re-work one half of our daylily beds every year we need to get started early and we are still trying to downsize.

We have good stock of most cultivars but please email or phone us on availability before ordering. NO BONUS ON SALE PLANTS. Sale continues until sold out or June 1, 2012.

What's happening with us.....

We are so honored to have received the prestigious American Hemerocallis Society's Helen Field Fischer Service Award, the highest award given to individual members for meritorious service to AHS. This award was presented at the national convention in Louisiana and we were so disappointed that we were not there to humbly accept it. Due to some health issues, both of us serving as chairs of our 2011 Region 15 summer meeting, and having to get our garden ready for that tour, we did not feel like we had the time to attend. However, it meant so much to have the award presented to us by our AHS Board member, Rebecca Board, at this meeting, with our regional friends present.

We were so honored also to be selected as regional hybridizers from Region 15 to be featured in The Daylily Journal in 2011. Also to be included in Charlie Dorsey's The Daylily Addict DVD/video series. Charlie does a fabulous, professional job interviewing and filming not just hybridizers but other interesting daylily folks and gardens. You will get to meet so many wonderful daylily addicts and visit great gardens. Learn more about Charlie's work at www.thedaylilyaddict.com, email him at thedaylilyaddict@yahoo.com , or call at 740-698-0092.
