Question about Botanic Garden daylily sale

16 years ago

I wanted to know if any of you could tell me if they have named daylilies and what the prices were for them?

Do they have pictures the daylily with the pot and a description of type like tet or dip, color, size of bloom and height?

TIA, Barb

Hello, Yes, there are pictures and all daylilies are named. Prices are all marked and some higher than others. You can shop around for the best price, go early for best selections........David in Arlington

Most all are named...I paid $10.00 each for the big plants I bought last year. They also sell small seedings/divisions in groups of 3-4 for only a $1-$2.
All sellers have pictures of the plants - each labled - it is well organized...but they do get picked over quick.
They are not potter up - they are all bare root.
I can't wait til it get that time - my favorite sell of the year!

Welcome to the forum, I found this forum In Spring of 2008. I had a few old daylilies but knew the name of none of them. I bought a lot more than three daylilies that first year, here is a picture two years later...yep, that garden bed is two years old, so 10 years isn't at all necessary to get the look you want. You want to allow your daylilies to form nice clumps before you separate them but as long as they get adequate water and a bit of food, they'll do fine. You will have to eventually separate them to have blooms, but a lot of mine will be separated for the first time this year.. My garden is a typical one. I have several beds that have only daylilies, and I have one bed that has many different flowers (including dayllilies), with the aim to create a cottage garden look. Look back about 40 pages (bottom of page), and you will see many posts of beautiful daylilies. You can buy daylilies very reasonably, but I will warn you it is something that is almost addictive. Just keep looking at forum and you will soon be seeing beautiful flowers. Again, welcome to the forum kay

Who went to the Botanic garden sale?

I go to the sale every year ( my in-laws are big in the Cleburne Iris Society). To get the best selection onf DL you have to be there when it opens and know what you wanting...they go really fast. I got 2 (my usual per year of big $15 ones) Hidden Riches (yelow) and Bubbling Edge. One of the promenent Iris Sellers was selling all his stock at 1/2 the marked price - he only sells 2000 and newer - so this is a wonderful deal. I got Holly Kosmoly, Prince of Tides, Starring, Heartstrings Summer, Creme De Ore and another Rush Hour (my personal favorite). I spent $30 on DL and $14.00 on Iris...cheapest year yet for me, but I'm running out of room! ON a side note...I've been splitting my iris beds over the past few weeks, if anyone else is too and would like to trade I would love to hear from you. I posted under have on the exchange board, but my only responce was someone wanting me to attend their garage/plant sale ather than an interested person in trading. ~angie~

Garden idiot question #3: What about these daylilies?

Almost all daylilies do this when they are done blooming. However, if they quit blooming early [without starting the season early], they are probably not getting enough sun. Although there are general rules as to how much sun daylilies get [6 hours minimum, I think it is], each cultivar can vary. I have a few that can go with less; many need more. It is by trial and error to find out which need lots of sun and which can do with less. As a general rule, reds and purples could use a little peak of the sun shade to keep them from fading.

I'm new to the area - exactly which Botanical Garden are you refering to? Sounds like a sale I'd like to go to!

Ft Worth Botanic Gardens on Montgomery north of I-30.

It's wonderful.

There've always been "landscape" daylilies when I've gone in past years, sorted by color & bundled together, say, maybe half a dozen for $10 or something.

The FT Iris Society's annual sale is just across the hall at the same time; it's a wonderful thing too!

Thank you, I wasn't sure and was fearing that they'd just have them in pot with no name or something.
I'm interested in many named ones and hope to find at least a few of the ones I want.
