Carleton Place Nursery 2008 Daylily Collection

This photo of Hemerocallis 'Naiomi Ruth' was taken in our production field in September, 2002. All rights reserved. Used by permission. The Daylily ( Hemerocallis spp.) is one of the more "collectible" perennials. Some call it the perfect perennial. The popularity is easily explained by the great number of cultivars available, the ease of culture, the prolonged blooming period.

As with most of our perennials, at Carleton Place Nursery, we propagate our own daylilies. Propagation takes place one full year ahead of sale and plants are grown on in 1 gallon pots. All have survived an Ottawa Valley winter prior to sale.

A brief explanation of some terminology is appropriate:

Extended bloomer
- flowers open at least 16 hours.
Tetraploid
- double chromosomes and usually results in stronger grower, and larger flowers with more striking colours.
Rebloomer
- blooms off and on throughout the season into the fall.
