We have many many exciting new cultivars in our gardens including the 2003 Stamile Doubles collection and the 2003 Stamile Spider collection. We feel honoured to have hybridizing friends that have allowed us to trial some plants before their introduction. Jeff & Jackie’s ‘Peach Rum Festival’ will be into its 3rd year here and Enman Joiner’s ‘Word of Honor’ (2004) is into it’s 2nd year.

The Humber Arboretum Project has become a screaming success! The Stout Silver Medal Collection had the last missing cultivars installed in August of 2003, the majority of the collection has matured into an incredible floral display. We were surprised to see how much variance there was in the bloom season of the 53 SSM winning cultivars. The earliest started blooming mid June and mid September saw more that half a dozen still blooming. Thank you to all who have taken the time, after visiting the Arboretum to tell us how much they enjoyed it. We will continue our guided walks along the Daylily collection for interested groups.

Cultural Advice

Autumn Care of Daylilies

Summer Open Garden/Plant Sale

Many daylily collectors are in the habit of cutting back foliage after bloom and/or again in autumn, before winter. The thinking is that removing the ratty foliage allows new healthy growth to occur unobstructed.

Our bloom season Open Gardens have been tremendously well attended since being moved to our Etobicoke Garden. For 2004 we will have our Etobicoke Garden open for 6 weekends with more container grown plants, more varieties of Hosta and other perennials and more help on hand to serve you faster.

There is a growing body of evidence to indicate that daylilies in general and evergreen types in particular, benefit from having the healthy foliage left intact. Evergreens will continue to store energy during warm sunny days even into December. Daylily foliage types are not as simple as the old thinking (Dormant, Semi-Evergreen, & Evergreen). Today we see many Dormants that keep lush green foliage well into the autumn and others that shed their leaves immediately after bloom with little autumn growth. Many Evergreen daylilies are winter hardy in our climate, they continue to photosynthesize and store energy late into the year, until the foliage is finally destroyed by deep freezing in December or January. Since evergreens vary in their tenderness/hardiness in our climate, allowing them to store all the extra late season strength they can, is a definite benefit. A preferred method of dealing with browning foliage in the autumn is to remove only the leaves that the plant is obviously shedding. This is best done by hand, one method being to grasp each fan near the base, sliding the hand upward with enough pressure to remove any loose/damaged/dieing leaves. Any leaves that are sound and green should be left on the plant (this applies to dormant and semi-evergreen daylilies as well). Leaves that are sound and green but have browning ends, may have the brown cut off, leaving as much green as possible. While this method involves more labour it will result in a more attractive display while allowing for good autumn growth.

Open Gardens will be 8:00 am to 4:00 pm on the following Saturdays and Sundays only June 19 & 20 - this weekend will be an opportunity to see the earliest of the bloom and to pick from thousands of bloom sized container grown plants that can fill your July and August garden with colour. We will be happy to dig from the ground as well. July 10-11, 17-18, 24-25 will cover the peak of the early and midseason bloom in our gardens, pick from our vast selection of containers in full bloom or have us dig plants from the ground. August 7-8, 14-15 we have noticed an increasing interest in later daylilies. These dates will provide an opportunity to see the late mid season bloom – August is a perfect time to plant new additions to your garden, either container grown or bare root. Above Dates From 8:00 am to 4:00 pm At 14 Paula Blvd. Etobicoke We will have more help on hand this year but still, things can get so busy, that we simply can not give each of our visitors the time and personal attention we would like. Hope this is a helpful hint – Sunday mornings tend to be the best time to get our undivided attention, we are bright eyed and bushy tailed starting right at 8am & everyone else seems to be sleeping in.

Garden Visitors

We are one of Canada’s largest daylily growers and mail-order sources but do not operate a retail outlet. For larger plantings a method I have occasionally used is Garden visitors are welcome by appointment, at both to pull a lawn rake over the plants removing the our Etobicoke garden and our Hendrick Avenue garden loose/damaged/dieing leaves while doing only a little often possible on short notice.

Mail Ordering

Fragrance

Daylilies ship very easily through the mail. Fresh dug plants have the soil washed from the roots. Leaves and roots are trimmed to prevent breakage and excess water loss. When dry, plants are packed in a ventilated cardboard box and shipped to you by Expedited Parcel.

Past customers will know that we have played down the significance of daylily fragrance. In this past year we have encountered an increasing number of Very Fragrant Daylilies that are causing us to rethink our position.

Delivery by Expedited Parcel to most major centers in Ontario and Quebec takes 1 or 2 days. To a smaller town or Rural Route will take a day longer. Delivery to Western and Atlantic Canada will take 3 or 4 days in most cases, although it can take as long as 4 or 5 business days to more remote areas. Xpresspost delivery is available at extra cost – please enquire for rates and times. All plants we ship are minimum double fans (Excepting 2004 Introductions). 2004 Intros will be shipped as Single Divisions which will be minimum 1 mature bloom sized fan, with, depending on how well they have multiplied since 2003, smaller offshoots attached. Cultivars that grow well for us are often shipped out as triples, quads or better. We find that up to 75% of our bare root mail order plants bloom the first year. Shipping Dates for 2004 have changed – mail-order shipments will start May 3, (there will be no shipments during April, unless by special arrangement) we will ship as many orders as possible during the first 3 weeks of May, however the majority of mail-orders will be shipped the last week of May and the first week of June. We try extremely hard to meet your delivery requests, but occasionally due to factors out of our control we can be a week or two behind. As always shipping priority is given on a First-Paid-For-Basis. You are always welcome to phone or email to enquire about shipping and availability. If an e-mail address is included on your order we will notify you when your plants are being shipped. Every year it happens – we sell out of something and have to turn away orders for that cultivar – every effort is made to only include cultivars in our catalogue that there are adequate supplies of. We have learned to expect to be surprised by which cultivars are popular and sell out - if there is something special you want, you are best advised to place your order early – again, plants are committed on a First-Paid-For-Basis. If, when we ship your order, we cannot supply any of the plants you have requested we will provide a refund cheque for those plants, unless you have specified on your order that we may substitute. You are welcome to include a list of substitutions.

Particularly memorable are the fragrant cultivars we encountered at Jeff & Jackie’s Daylilies in Tennessee and the fragrant cultivars in Joiner Gardens in Georgia. Hybridizers that are able to think outside the box, and not limit their expectations to what has been accomplished in the past are pushing fragrance to new levels. We now have daylilies that are fragrant from several feet away and may soon experience daylily gardens that are filled with fragrance rivaling that of Oriental Lilies. All of Jeff & Jackie’s 2002 & 2003 introductions will be blooming during our Garden Sale this year and we are importing this spring a number of newer Joiner Daylilies to add to the many fragrant cultivars we already offer.

Some of Our Favorites that Warrant a Second Mention - (plants that perform particularly well are shipped as larger divisions)

Bayou Bride – grows like a weed, one of the most vigorous cultivars we grow. A 1995 registration from Jeff Salter, BB blooms and blooms then reblooms some more – good for a summer filled with soft pastel beauty above lush green healthy foliage.

Daring Dilemma – has been a leader in popularity polls since it’s 1993 introduction. Although still eligible for the 2004 Stout Silver Medal, Daring Dilemma will probably fall just short of the Top Honour a daylily can receive. DD is an excellent Rebloomer putting up the second set of bloom scapes before the initial bloom is finished, and often putting up a third set of scapes in September

Purity – the tallest daylily we currently offer for sale. We love the way these soft yellow and fragrant blooms contrast against the blue backdrop of the sky. Mid Late season bloom – may not start until the beginning of August then blooming for 4-5 weeks

Kindly Light – Classic Spider, big blooms very narrow form and very fine foliage as well. 7.7:1 ratio is about as good as a spider gets yet KL maintains the vigour of a 1950’s daylily.

Public Daylily Gardens at Humber Arboretum

Humber Arboretum Species Collection During 2003, work began on a Collection of Species Daylilies at the Arboretum. These daylilies for the most part have more historical significance than commercial value, and the Humber Arboretum is the perfect place to preserve and display this important plant material.

Arcadian Daylilies has continued working in partnership with the Humber Arboretum to build a truly world class daylily collection, illustrating the many styles, sizes, heights and colours of the modern Daylily as well as many historical daylilies from “Apricot” introduced by George The Species Collection currently contains over 20 species and sub-species, that will be blooming for the first time at Yeld in 1893, onwards. the Arboretum in 2004. Some species are extra early, so The highlight of the Arboretum collection is undoubtedly we may be seeing bloom as early as May 2004. the Stout Silver Medal bed, which winds for 200 feet through an incredible park-like setting featuring mature Special Thanks to Gil Stelter who donated many of the trees, ponds, immaculate flowerbeds, & open lawns. Species for the Arboretum collection. The Stout bed was specially prepared to illustrate the evolution of the daylily since Hesperus received the first Stout Medal in 1950. In August 2003 we completed the Stout Silver Medal Collection. To our knowledge this is the only complete SSM collection in Canada. A handful of the cultivars in this collection are such tender evergreens that they will not survive our Canadian winters. The staff at the arboretum have put the extra effort into moving the most tender of the plants into the greenhouse for the winter and they will be reinstalled in the Stout Medal Bed every spring. This is not the way daylilies are intended to be grown, however for the purposes of maintaining this historically significant collection for Canadian Daylily enthusiasts to enjoy the extra effort is being applied. The Humber Arboretum is itself a Joint Project between the City of Toronto Parks, the Toronto Region Conservation Authority and Humber College. Located at the back of Humber College north campus the arboretum is open daylight hours, 365 days a year. Parking for arboretum visitors is free in Lot #1 behind Humber College. Use Entrance “A” to the college. Access is off of Humber College Blvd west of Hwy 27 and south of Finch Ave. Washroom facilities are available in the residence building adjacent the arboretum. Guided tours of the daylily beds can be arranged for interested groups during the bloom season. For more information 416-657-1444 - Arcadian Daylilies 416-675-6622 ex 4467 - Humber Arboretum

Gil and his wife Sally, operate Gryphon Gardens in Guelph, which is an American Hemerocallis Society Display Garden and will be a part of the 2004 Region 4 tour. Gryphon Gardens has the largest species collection we are aware of and their generous help now provides that this important plant material will be preserved in a public garden as well. Gil has done considerable work crossing modern cultivars back to species to restore vigour and hardiness of the species while maintaining the beauty of the modern cultivars. Gil’s work is also helping to provide a better understanding of Ploidy with the relationship of modern tetraploids and diploids to some of the triploid species. Gryphon Gardens is open by appointment 519-821-9267 and they do sell daylilies on a very limited scale.

A Favorite that Warrants a Second Mention Moonlit Masquerade – Pale Cream near White with a dark purple eyezone above a green throat, MM has a fine purple edge that doesn’t quite make it to the tip of the petals. A vigorous plant with robust blemish free foliage MM is an early midseason bloomer that often starts the 3rd week of June and blooms with clusters of flowers for 5 or 6 weeks with rebloom after that. An absolute first choice, MM is a leading contender for the 2004 Stout Silver Medal.

Spiders In the early years of daylily hybridizing narrow petaled spidery type blooms were common. During the 1970’s and 1980’s, hybridizers sought to create dinnerplate style daylilies with wide flat petals. Spiders were very much out of vogue. Today spiders are enjoying a resurgence in popularity, so much so that we have difficulty growing enough spiders to meet demand. In order to qualify as a true spider the petals must consistently be at least 5 times longer than wide. Spider variants may qualify with a length to width ratio of 4:1 Our 2004 collection of spiders & variants has grown. We are pleased to offer Dark Star, Firestorm, Flutterbye, Jan’s Twister, Kindly Light, Lady Fingers, Long Stocking, Nina Winegar, Nutmeg Elf, Red Ribbons & Tylwyth Teg.

UFO’s (these don’t fly) Unusual Forms are the most recently defined class of daylilies, inclusion based exclusively on form. The flower must have distinctive petal, and/or sepal shapes. These include: Pinching, Curling, Twisting, Cascading, and Quilling. The following cultivars are officially considered UFO’s – Arm’s To Heaven, Enjoy, Fellow, Jan’s Twister, Lake Norman Spider, Lilting Lavender, Morticia, Open Hearth, Orchid Corsage, Peacock Maiden, Prague Spring, Spider Miracle.
