We have now updated our website for 2024 and it is ready to go. As we do each year, we have added a few of our own intros as well as many others from various hybridizers that we hope many of you will like. We try to be selective, as we have hybridizing in mind for most of our plant purchases. We would be happy for you to look around and delighted if you would like to order a few. We always ship more than two fans with our intros as well as all other plants we ship. Often they can be 3 to 6 fans, as we always want to ship nice size plants that will establish well and bloom quickly. As we do each year, we have added some new additions and retired a few that had been around a while. 

For spring shipments we will ship from early April until the end of May. For fall shipments we outlook those shipping from early September  through late October. We normally do not dig during bloom season (June through August) as daylilies aren’t happy moving then, we are focusing on hybridizing during that time, and like to keep the garden fresh for visitors during bloom season. We would be happy for you to visit and delighted if you would like to order a few during your visit. We will arrange a pick-up time when it isn’t as hot so the plants and you will be happier during their move. Thanks and happy gardening for 2024.

PLEASE NOTE: We ask for a $40 minimum order, when shipping by mail, so it will cover all our shipping expenses for our heavier plants. We appreciate your interest and business. Please visit us during bloom season if you have the opportunity, although please call ahead to make sure we are home.

Thank you again for your business and enjoy the virtual visit.

Will U Luv Me Tomorrow

R. Quinn (2021 – Spring) Height – 24″, Bloom – 5.5″, Dormant, Mid Season, 3 branches, 14 buds, Fragrant, DIP: (Velvet Handcuffs X Emerald Starburst) $65 SOLD OUT

.

On the color chart, WULMT is closest to maroon. To me, Maroon doesn’t sound like the prettiest color description, but I think this was the prettiest of the Velvet Handcuffs kids that came from Emerald Starburst or Rose F Kennedy. It does have that big green triangular eye from Emerald Starburst. It has been one of my favorites in the garden since its first year. The name is from the 1960’s Shirelle’s song, Will U Still Love Me tomorrow. I love music and wish I had the gift to sing or play an instrument but not blessed in that area.

Sunset Masquerade

R. Quinn (2019 – Fall) Height – 40″, Bloom – 7″, Dormant, Mid Season, 4 branches, 24 buds, Rebloom, Dip, Unusual Form – Crispate: Rose bitone with darker rose petals and lighter rose sepals, light rose band on petals, green throat with faint tint of yellow, pinched petals with white midribs. (Queen Charlotte X Candy Apple Tower)

I’m The One

R. Quinn (2019 – Fall) Height – 36″, Bloom – 7.5″, Semi-Evergreen, Mid-Late Season, 3 Branches, 16 Buds, Fragrant, Tet, Unusual Form – Crispate: Dark purple with red tones, a slightly darker eye, and a mid sized, green throat. From two Judy Davisson flowers, this one has a unique triangular form. Even more interesting, some years the center consistently points up and other years consistently down. No idea why, but it does. I didn’t notice this trait until I started looking at pictures from multiple years.

Mexacali Beat

R. Quinn (2019 – Fall) Height – 32″, Bloom – 5.5″, Semi-Evergreen, Mid-Season, 3 branches, 15 buds, Rebloom, Tet.:  Light dusty rose petals and sepals, darker rose veining on petals, chalky blue eye with darker rose band, and yellow green throat. As most hybridizers, blue is always that elusive but interesting goal to chase. I agree it is “daylily blue” but it is very pretty in the garden. (Mexicali Blues x Blue Beat)

Coconut Mint Twist

R. Quinn (2019 – Fall) Height – 29″, Bloom – 6.5″, Dormant, Mid Season, 3 branches, 14 buds, Dip, Unusual Form – Cascade: White petals and sepals, green radiating throat covers much of petal and sepal surface, white midribs. I had a number of seedlings from this cross to bloom as this one did with a lot of green on white. This one has the most green of any of my seedlings until a first tear bloom this year in the seedling section. In the garden, the green on white really shows off. (Flip Flop X Rose F Kennedy)

Cape Fear Ghost Stories

R. Quinn (2019 – Fall) Height – 30″, Bloom- 5.5″, Dormant, Mid-Season, 3 branches, 15 buds, Rebloom, Tet: Cream white petals and sepals with light purple eye that fades into petal color and a green yellow throat fades into eye. The soft color and the the throat fading to the eye and eye to the petal color gives it a bit of a ghostly look, at least in my imagination, hence the name.  (seedling X seedling)

$35 

Twisted Rosie

R. Quinn (2018-Fall) Height – 29″, Bloom – 8.00″, Early-Mid season, Dormant, Tetraploid, Fragrant, 3 branches, 18 buds, Unusual Form – Crispate:   Rose pink with large, radiating yellow green throat, twisted petals, quilled sepals. Every bloom of ‘Twisted Rosie’ twists and turns much like this photo. I recall Carol Emmerich when talking about her selection wanting flowers that would “talk to her” as she looked at them. At the front of the garden last year, ‘Twisted Rosie’ would do that for me.  A very pretty flower.

Windyhill’s Morning Sky

R. Quinn (2018-Fall) Height – 42″ Bloom – 9.00″, Mid-season, Rebloom, Dormant, Tetraploid, Fragrant, 4 branches, 22 buds, Unusual Form – Crispate / Sculpted: The bright soft yellow eye that extends over much of the petals and sepals makes it a real standout in the garden. Windyhill’s Morning Sky is a sib to Windyhill’s Dreamsicle that was introduced in 2015. It is another excellent offspring from Windyhill’s Discovery immediately below, and shows some of Discovery’s wonderful capability of producing pretty offspring with good plant habits. In most cases, Discovery’s offspring is better than its self.

Windyhill’s Discovery

R. Quinn (2018-Fall) Height – 40″

Bloom – 9.00″, Early season,

dormant, Tetraploid, Fragrant, 3 branches,

16 buds, Unusual Form – Sculpted:   More than “just another yellow” daylily. I took this seedling home from Sandy Holmes. It has quite a garden presence, but even more significant, it has proven to be a very good parent, for various colors, and a parent of some of my current intros. Sandy encouraged me to introduce it. It is too good not to share.

Windyhill’s Hidden Secrets

(Quinn 2016)  Height 42 in.(107 cm), bloom 9.5 in.(24 cm), season EM, Rebloom, Semi-Evergreen, Tetraploid, Fragrant, 18 buds, 4 branches, Unusual Form Crispate-Cascade,  Dark red purple petals with a soft green yellow throat. (Redwine Romance × Still the One) $30: 

Although regestered at 9.5″, on rebloom the typical blooms are more than 12″.  Windyhill’s Hidden Secrets is from a cross of two of my favorite UF’s. Although Red Wine Romance was registered by John Kinnebrew, it came to them from June Williams. We had visited with June in our early days of garden visiting with Jim Cooper. When we would visit, June and Clarence would walk us through their yard to sample the different varieties of  oranges. I am delighted to be able to have this connection back to them. The other side of this cross, ‘Still The One’, is from my favorite Tet UF hybridizer, Judy Davisson. Most of the Tet UF’s I am working with, and seedlings I have selected, have at least one of Judy’s intros in its background. Unquestionably, the hybridizers today are standing on the shoulders of those that were here before us. Thank you!!

Windyhill’s Dark Secret

(Quinn 2016),  height 30 in.(76 cm), bloom 6 in.(15 cm), season EM, Rebloom, Dormant, Diploid, 15 buds, 3 branches,  Cabernet wine purple petals with a very large yellow green eye that transitions into the petal color. (Emerald Starburst × Candy Apple Tower) $25:

It does look a lot like a RFK kid, but isn’t. With ‘Emerald Starburst’ one of RFK’s parents, the bold throat and mid-ribs still fit that look. ‘Candy Apple Tower’ is a different case. From our Arkansas daylily bud, John Holland, it is his only introduction and it is a good one. Again, we are having fun as we stand on the shoulders of our daylily friends as we travel this path.

Dawn’s Morning Light

(Quinn, 2016) height 35 in.(89 cm), bloom 7 in.(18 cm), season EM, Rebloom, Dormant, Diploid, 32 buds, 5 branches,  Pink violet petals with darker pink lavender veining, throat is a soft blend of yellow green and white that transitions into the petals. (Appalachian Trail × Velvet Handcuffs) $30: 

This is one of the best branched seedlings we have bloomed in the garden. I registered it with 5 branches but in its second year and on, it will usually have at least 6 branches.

Kaci Bug

(Quinn, 2016) height 39 in.(99 cm), bloom 7.5 in.(19 cm), season EM, Semi-Evergreen, Tetraploid, Fragrant, 15 buds, 3 branches, Unusual Form Crispate,  Butter yellow in the center of petals and sepals, softening to near white on the borders, with white midribs on the petals. (Mister Butters × sdlg) $20:

Named for my younger of two granddaughters. The nickname came from her mom, and fits perfectly. She is as cute as the proverbial button. Again Judy Davisson contributed to this one. Yes, I do like Judy’s flowers. The other side is not just any seedling. It came from Sandy Holmes and was a cross of two Webster seedlings (Windyhill’s Discovery) that were passed on to her. It is tall and majestic and always very notable in the garden when blooming. Better yet, it is a surprisingly good parent, and also on one side of ‘Windyhill’s Dreamsicle’.
