We had problems with our web host January 8 & 9, resulting in our web site not being available much of that time. We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience this may have caused, and we are hoping the problems have resolved.  Thanks for coming back and looking again !

           

 

*** New for 2012 ***

 

We are offering a deeply discounted ‘Feature Plant’ every week until the beginning of April.

 

 

Feature Plant  -  January 22nd  to January 29th  only

Tylwyth Teg (Whitacre 1988)               

Tylwyth Teg is one of our favorite tall daylilies.  This classic Spider form is unusual in its colour (pale cream near white) it is a polychrome with many hues blending through the petals and sepals.  The apple green heart fades through a pale gold throat to the large 8" blooms. Petals have a distinct midrib that shows a very pale lavender colour (see photo).

 

               for this 7 days only – a 60% savings – $4.00 when purchased with any regularly priced daylily

 

Offer made subject to availability.  Available as multifan, Bareroot divisions or as 2 gallon Container Grown plants for pickup orders

Limit of one Tylwyth Teg for every regularly priced plant ordered.

note: if a regularly priced plant that you have ordered, is offered at a discounted price in coming weeks you will automatically get the lower price.

 

 

Here is how our Weekly Feature Plant offers work

  • Every week we will offer a different daylily cultivar at a discounted price.  -  we promise these will be the lowest prices of the year, and you will see that these will be very very good value.
  • Feature plants may be ordered simply by sending us an email. (no payment required until April).
  • We will keep track of all plants you order and an invoice will be emailed to you the beginning of April.
  • Payment in full, must be received by April 15, or the order will be cancelled and plants released for sale to others.  Payments accepted - cheque, money order, or E-mail Money Transfers (most banks offer these).
  • Plants will be reserved on a first ordered basis.
  • Number of plants available may be limited on some cultivars – we reserve the right to limit quantities sold.

Container Grown Plants

For many years now we have grown all of our Container Grown Daylilies in 2 gallon containers. These containers are large enough that we guarantee minimum triple fan divisions, and most containers have many more fans than that (some over a dozen). A 2 gallon container has adequate space for good root development, and is large enough to maintain stable moisture and temperature levels. We are proud of the quality of these container grown plants !

              List of cultivars available in 2 gallon containers as of  June 17, 2011

 

Pickups can be arranged at our Home Garden (Central Toronto), our Etobicoke Garden (near QEW & 427), in Brampton, or on the West Mountain in Hamilton.  Please email for a list of cultivars available in containers, or watch this web page – we will try to get a complete list posted here.

One Gallon Named Daylilies

This collection of one gallon Daylilies is for the budget conscious gardener that is happy to start with a smaller division and grow it up themselves.  With one gallon containers we put as much plant as will fit comfortably in it. They may have a single fan of larger cultivars, double fan or more, depending on the size of the cultivar.

 

These one gallon plants will be offered to our wholesale Garden Center Customers in 2012, and we anticipate they will retail in the $12. to $16. range.

 

As an introductory special we are offering this limited selection of one gallon containers at $8.00 each.

Public Daylily Gardens at Humber Arboretum

The Humber Arboretum is a not for profit center for urban ecology on the West Humber River in northwest Toronto. Enter a world of beauty as you wander along trails and boardwalks through gardens, forests, meadows and wetlands. A jewel in the Greater Toronto Landscape!

 

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 Yeld in 1893, onwards.

 

The highlight of the Arboretum collection is undoubtedly the Stout Silver Medal bed, which winds for 200 feet through an incredible park-like setting featuring mature trees, ponds, immaculate flowerbeds, & open lawns.

 

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.

 

As of bloom season 2003 many of the Stout Medal clumps have matured to the size that they are putting up 10 – 15 scapes or more. The arboretum staff have done a fabulous job of growing these plants to perfection and the results are a world class botanical garden display.

 

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.

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.

 

The Species Collection currently contains over 20 species and sub-species, that will be blooming for the first time at the Arboretum in 2004. Some species are extra early, so we may be seeing bloom as early as May 2004.

 

Special Thanks to Gil Stelter who donated many of the Species for the Arboretum collection.

 

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.
