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 />
