Welcome!
Daredevil Daylily is located on Rte. 78 in Burt, New York, less than a mile from Lake Ontario. It's zone 6 ( Sunset zone 39) with summer temps rarely above 90 degrees, winter rarely below zero but with all too many below freezing days. Proximity to the lake means it's often quite windy. All of the daylilies below are field grown and all have been grown for at least 4 years without mulch. A few, however, have later shown improved performance with a bit of mulch and are so indicated. Phil Fass has generously agreed to trial my iffier intros in his why-would-anyone-want-to-live-there-in-winter brutal zone 4 Iowa garden and I will add his reports as they come in.
The garden is licensed, state inspected and has never had daylily rust.
Visitors, especially with their favorite weeding tool in hand, are always welcome. Peak bloom is mid July, peak seedling bloom 2 weeks earlier. A quick phone call (after dark please) to let me know you'll be coming will assure that I won't be doing anything too embarrassing when you arrive.
Please click on the thumbnails for larger images, descriptions and prices. Shipment is by USPS priority mail to US addresses only, $9.00 for the first and $1.00 for each additional plant. Shipping usually begins the first week of May and can continue through September; earlier shipment weather permitting. If you're not satisfied with the plants you receive, please contact me immediately.
Payment by check, money order or PayPal are accepted, but because many of the introductions are limited I request that you email or call first to ascertain availability. Your plants will be reserved for 2 weeks to await payment.
