About Pickups

We are happy to have customers pickup plants but remember that we are not set up like a retail store, and we do not keep regular hours. Just email or phone so that we can find a mutually convenient time.

 

We have a tremendous selection of Container Grown Plants that can be planted anytime from April until the ground freezes in the autumn.  The majority of our plants are grown in the ground and if a cultivar you have selected is not available in a container it will be dug, washed and tagged for your pickup.

 

We grow our plants in a number of different locations. If you know the cultivars you want to pick up, you are always best to give us the list a few days in advance, so that we can locate the best plants for you. If you simply want to browse though and select from the Container Grown Plants you are most welcome to.

 

Pickups may be arranged at our Home Garden (Central Toronto), our Etobicoke Garden (very near the junction of QEW/427/GardinerExprwy) or our Hamilton Garden (Hamilton West Mountain).  Best selection of container grown plants (close to 1000 to choose from) will be in our Etobicoke garden.

 

Container Grown Plants

Plants grown for retail garden centers have to be grown in the smallest containers possible to keep the retail cost low. The larger the container the higher are the material costs, shipping costs and the greater space required in the retail display. Retail Garden Centers and their Growers work hard to keep the cost down.  At Arcadian Daylilies we provide the larger, bloom ready plants you have asked for. 

 

Our container grown plants are in larger 2 and 3 gallon containers. Larger containers, mean larger root systems and more fans. That means a bigger better display from the day you plant them.

 

Container Grown plants may be planted any time through the season without losing a beat.  Even plants in full bloom can be planted using a little extra care to avoid damaging the bloom scapes.

 

Ask about the environmentally friendly Water Management and Nutrient Recovery techniques we use with our containers. And ask about our Biological Pest Controls and Symbiotic Inoculants that make our plants more drought resistant.

 

Our 2 Gallon Container Grown plants are the best we have ever grown. With massive root systems, most are small clumps, some with up to a dozen fans.

 

These are just plain Spectacular !
