Hemerocallis (Daylilies)<br />

Your Trusted Daylily Source<br />

<strong>Walters</strong> <strong>Gardens</strong> is committed to providing our customers with true to<br />

name plants. We are concerned about variability in daylilies from tissue<br />

culture, both in flowering performance and in overall characteristics. For this<br />

reason, all of the daylilies we offer are grown from field divisions. You can<br />

be confident that our true vegetative stock will deliver a consistent, uniform<br />

performance. All of our daylilies are pest resistant and free of daylily rust.<br />

Trimmed Roots<br />

We trim the roots of all daylilies before they are shipped. In our trials,<br />

trimming the roots did not set the plants back at all and in some cases,<br />

trimming actually resulted in increased rooting. Trimmed roots are also<br />

faster for our customers to pot up, weigh less in shipping, and result in less<br />

waste.<br />

Premium Daylilies<br />

Our top 20 Daylily Varieties.<br />

Customers looking for guidance selecting top daylilies, look<br />

no further than our premium varieties. Each of our premium daylilies has<br />

been trialed, studied, and observed for a minimum of 6-10 years by our<br />

experienced Daylily Growers. The very best of each color class.<br />

Chris Meyer<br />

<strong>Walters</strong> <strong>Gardens</strong> daylily hybridizer Chris Meyer<br />

became interested in hybridizing daylilies in the<br />

early 1990s when he made the initial cross that<br />

eventually resulted in the introduction of the popular<br />

Hemerocallis ‘Going Bananas’. We are now proud to<br />

offer ‘Elegant Explosion’ and ‘Orange Smoothie’ as<br />

well, with four more varieties officially introduced<br />

this year! Look for ‘Hungry Eyes’, ‘Inkheart’,<br />

‘Raspberry Eclipse’, and ‘Sound of my Heart’ in this<br />

catalog, with more to come in the future.<br />
