In celebration of Canada Day 2009 we are offering a one day

for a couple days or until they are gone.

Over 20 cultivars in bloom already. The early season bloom has started. It feels like it has been the perfect spring for plant development and the number of scapes is astounding - the next few months will be an absolute riot of colour.
Our Container grown plants, and the plants in the ground have never looked as lush and healthy as they do this year. Containers can be planted now for bloom this July and August. Our two gallon containers have multifan clumps in them, many of which will carry 3 to 8 bloom scapes this year. Many of our customers like to browse the containers during bloom season and purchase plants in full bloom. With a little extra care (to avoid damaging bloom scapes) even plants in full bloom can be planted during the peak of the season.
Garden visitors are welcome to visit often to see the Early season bloom (now until mid July), Midseason Bloom (mid July until early August), and Late season Bloom (August and September).
We are more than happy to have visitors view the gardens, and we are more than happy to have customers pick up plants. Visits and pickups are by appointment only. Please email or phone so that we may find a mutually convenient time (evenings and weekends are usually best).

We have hundreds of overwintered 2 gallon Container Grown Plants that will be available for pickup, as soon as they start displaying solid growth mid April. Our Containers are robust multifans and small clumps, these are some of the best value plants we have ever grown.
While bare rooted daylilies recover very quickly and very easily, we love the way our Container Grown plants can be installed into your garden without losing a beat. These are guaranteed to bloom the first year and can even be transplanted in full bloom at the peak of the season.
Pickups can be arranged at our

Containers.
A mix of double fans, triples, quads and better, these are perfect for landscaping where a variety of colours, styles, and sizes are desired. Most are named daylilies, although some have lost their names and a few are misnamed. Many have been in containers several years or longer proving how tough these cultivars are.
These plants would be perfect for a larger planting where the criteria is good hardy plants in a variety of heights, forms and colours.

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
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

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
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.
