Cultivars Introduced by Other Hybridizers
My goal is not to be a secondary seller of other hybridizer’s cultivars, to be a commercial supplier of them or to grow them in large quantities. The only reason that I have chosen to offer any cultivars from other hybridizers is that through growing and testing over 1100 daylily cultivars, both as garden plants and in my own breeding program, I have run across some plants that I consider to be very good. These plant include both those that have proven to be very good in my garden, some for decades, and others that have proven to be very good for breeding purposes. Many of these two groups have overlap. Because these plants have been excellent garden subjects and/or breeding material, I tend to have a nice clump or more of them and may have several clumps of some. As I proceed in my own breeding program, and with space here at a premium, I may find myself with excellent plants in one or more ways that I don’t have room for and think others would find useful in their gardens or in their breeding programs. I may also retire plants from my breeding program and want to move them out to others who would appreciate them or find them useful.
I have designed this blog to offer detailed information about my own introductions and the cultivars of other hybridizers that I offer in any given year. I will keep those posts on the blog even when I completely sell out of any plant. I want this blog to be an informational resource for you to learn about daylily cultivars and to have access to my anecdotal observations from my garden and my breeding program (where applicable). If I think something is good or better, I want that information to be available to the daylily and gardening public. Most of the plants I offer are in small supply and as I sell out of some of them, I won’t restock them, while others may always be with me. As well, my shipping season will basically be two narrow windows in spring and late summer/early fall. I highly encourage you to try the plants I recommend here, but if I am sold out or you need a given cultivar in larger quantities than I can supply, or you want them shipped at a time when I am not able to ship, I still want you to be able to access these plants. To that end, there are some other sellers I want to recommend to you for the older tried-and-true cultivars I offer, and in many cases their own fine introductions as well. In fact, these are the sources I accessed many of these from. You will find a listing of the other hybridizers and sellers I recommended at the articles and links page at my website.
