Our early work focused on two different red varieties we developed at the farm, and the orange daylily Coleman Hawkins, developed by Dan Bachman. Starting with a hobby garden of about 50 plants, the garden has grown to nearly 20000 of our own individual seedlings. We completed our first registrations in 2024 and expect to expand this in 2025 and beyond.
Our interest continues to be broad, with nearly every color, size, and shape of flower making up the garden. The focus of our program continues to be goal of developing showy flowers on hardy, vigorous plants that perform well in the garden. The addition of the Bachman hybridizing program in 2021 boosted our genetic base by adding many varieties known for their vigor and unusual form to our own providing for some exciting results the past few seasons.
New Seedlings 2025
Blues
A personal favorite, our blue daylilies have many forms and we are currently introducing patterns with some exciting results.
Greens
These daylilies are some of the most striking flowers in the garden with many unusual forms.
Doubles
Unusual and often unpredictable, these double daylilies are an eye catching addition to the program.
Ruffled
Laura’s favorite. These toothy flowers come in many color variations.
Orange
The one that started it all. Our original hybridizing work began with Dan Bachman’s Coleman Hawkins. Most recently Jamie Gossard’s Heavenly New Frontiers has given us some great results.
Red
Producing a large, vigorous red daylily has been a main focus of our hybridizing work. Several of our 2019 seedlings look very promising.
