We’re happy to have garden visitors during bloom season to pick up plants, or just to look and build a wish list.

All 3 of our gardens will have amazing displays starting in June, with July being the peak month, and bloom lasting well into August, and maybe September. Send an email so that we can find a mutually convenient time for a visit.

Home Garden – Central Toronto

Etobicoke Garden – near 427/QEW/Gardiner

Hamilton Garden – west mountain just off the Link

We are always happy to have visitors to the gardens, but we do ask that you email to make an appointment to make sure we will be there. Sorry, but the gardens are not open to drop in visitors without an appointment.

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 !

*** New *** List of cultivars available in 2 gallon containers as of March 2012

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.

A Few of Our Favorite Daylilies
