Welcome

Dear  Friends and Fellow Gardeners -

Welcome to another gardening season and our 31st year. In 2007 we would like to welcome as many of you as possible to our selling garden in Carlisle.
Seeing the plants and viewing the bloom is a special time for our visitors and there is nothing like seeing them in person. Some of you live just too far away to visit and we understand that – we have pictures of both daylilies and hostas on our website. For you who must rely on ordering plants to be shipped, we choose plants for you that are just as big and nice as if you were visiting in person. We are eagerly looking forward to seeing you and serving your gardening needs in the days ahead.

Each year we search for new and unusual daylily cultivars to add to our collection. In this catalog are many new varieties of daylilies which we are offering for the first time. We are very excited about these new ones. Among these are BLOOD STREAM, CHERRY DROP, CONGENIALITY, FOXES LAIR, GLISTENING BOUQUET, MAURICE RIVER QUEEN, RAGING TIGER, RED GRACE,  SARSFIELD, SILOAM APPLE BLOSSOM, and VIOLET EXPLOSION.

A new double we have this year is VARIETY IS THE SPICE. We also have the wonderful doubles  CARROT CREST, CONDILLA,  PEACH MAGNOLIA, MADGE CAYSE, MOSES' FIRE, PUDGIE,  and SILOAM DOUBLE CLASSIC.

 We are pleased to be offering once again WHITE TEMPTATION, LIME FROST, and SWISS MINT; while not new this year, we consider them a standard of comparison for good near white daylilies.
This year we have the following repeat blooming daylilies for our climate - APRICOT SPARKLES, RED HOT RETURNS, ROMANTIC RETURNS, ROSY RETURNS,  RUBY STELLA,  PURPLE DE ORO, STEPHANIE RETURNS,  WHEN MY SWEETHEART RETURNS ,  JUST PLUM HAPPY, and  BIG TIME HAPPY. We continue to have HAPPY RETURNS and STELLA DE ORO. They are all wonderful repeat bloomers throughout the summer.  

Do you grow the daylily SANDRA ELIZABETH? If not, you should try it. SANDRA ELIZABETH is considered by many daylily connoisseurs to be the best very late blooming tetraploid daylily on the market today. SANDRA ELIZABETH begins blooming around the third week in August here, a full month after peak bloom. The bud count, branching, and plant habit are nothing short of outstanding. We realize that most of our garden visitors come to visit our daylily display during peak bloom from mid July to early August. During that time period, SANDRA ELIZABETH has not even thought about blooming.We hope many of you will return in late August or on weekends in early September to see SANDRA ELIZABETH in all her glory. Better yet, try it in your own garden.

This season we again have quantity discounts on over 60 specific daylilies when purchased in quantities of 3 or more per variety , giving     20% savings on these varieties - these varieties are marked with after the price. Click here for details.

We have added new varieties of hosta this year which we think you will like. We also have many of the more recent introductions plus the tried and true. This year we have two hosta collections available for the first time – a small leaf collection and a large leaf collection. See page 32 for details.

Please visit our website - it has color photographs of both our daylilies and hostas. Also plan to visit us this summer and see our many plants in bloom. NOTE OUR NEW HOURS.  Bring your friends and camera along.

Happy Gardening!
