Daylilies

Daylilies are the American favorite perennial for they are truly the hardiest and most versatile of all perennials. They are an amazing plant, available in a rainbow of colors, shapes, sizes, and varieties that can be easily grown anywhere in the U.S.

Lullaby Baby FieldMany gardeners know that daylilies have come a long way since the days of the old orange and yellow species daylilies, and our customers have learned they can expect a lot more when they receive daylily plants from American Daylily & Perennials. We have not only grown and tested thousands of dependable daylilies for almost 40 years, but Jack has developed superior new daylily varieties due to his daylily breeding (link to article about breeding) program that is based on his specific goals and high standards.

 

The daylily gardens of America have been rewarded from Jack’s dedication to our daylily breeding program and an ultimate “highlight” for him was when one of his hybrids, “Black Eyed Stella” won the title of being the first “All American” Daylily in 1994. Among Award Winning daylilies, the All American title stands alone because the varieties have shown “Scientifically proven superior performance Nationwide” based on a rigorous test program methodology. Since the announcement of Black Eyed Stella as the first All-American Daylily winner in 1994, the All-American Daylily Selection Council has named nineteen additional All-American winners. Among these varieties are two additional winners from Jack’s breeding: Lady Elizabeth, and Miss Mary Mary. Lady Elizabeth is the best near-white daylily we’ve grown in 35 years and Miss Mary Mary (like it’s parent plant Stella de Oro) is one of the very best reblooming daylilies of all time.
