Where have you ordered from?

16 years ago

I thought it would be helpful to see where others have ordered from - to learn about daylily farms we didn't know about.

Here is my list in no particular order. Notice I'm not critiquing them, just listing them.

MARYOTT'S

AREN'T I PRETTY

OAK MEADOW FARM in PA (usually not a mail order place)

COTTAGE GARDENS

MANATAWNY CREEK FARMS

SHAW'S SUNSHINE GARDEN

SUNSET MEADOWS

SOUTH WIND

OLALLIE

HOMESTEAD FARMS

    I wanted to write EVERYWHERE, but I'll give you a list. Some of the best places I've ordered from are no longer in business.

    Marietta
    Maryott's
    Aren't I Pretty
    Patron Gardens
    Sunset Meadows
    Daylily Manor
    Ridaught Daylilies
    Crintonic Daylilies
    Heavenly Daylilies
    Floyd Cove
    Art Gallery Gardens
    The Lily Farm

    But most of my daylilies have come from the Lily Auction, a variety of sellers over the years.

    I love Maryott's, Marietta, (both send great plants and bonuses...Maryotts are unreal bonuses) Ridnaughts's (good prices) and Roycroft has some of the prettiest introductions to me since I love eyes. Art Gallery Gardens sends fabulous plants and bonuses. Slightly Different Nursery (Paul Owens) Plants perform fabulously. The lily auction ah yes, the lily auction. And several others I can't think of right now.

    Bell's ( Tim Bell)
    Bobbie Brooks
    Lily Farm ( formerly Jack Carpenter and Josie Bomar.)
    Pat Cochenour
    B.J. Crichton
    Judy Davisson
    George Doorakian ( Nor'East Daylilies)
    Don and Nancy Eller
    Karol Emmerich
    Jamie Gossard
    Larry Grace
    Ladybug ( Dan Hansen)
    Crintonic ( Curt Hanson)
    Tim Herrington
    Sandy Holmes
    The Joiners
    Kinnebrews
    Daylily World ( David and Mort)
    Art Gallery ( Luddy Lambertson)
    Melanie Mason
    Linda Michaels
    Michael Miller
    Richard Norris
    Ted Petit
    George Rasmussen
    Margo Reed and Jim Murphy
    John and Annette Rice
    Kem Roberts
    Bret Clement
    Frank Smith
    Iron Gate ( Van Sellers and Vic Santa Lucia)
    Bob Schwarz
    Floyd Cove (Stamiles - now Pierces)
    Bob Tankesley Clarke
    Dan Trimmer
    Bill Waldrop
    Nan Wilkerson

    A few secondary sources I've ordered from that I'd order from again:
    Ric-A-Tee
    Bonner's Sunshine Garden
    Several sellers on the Lily Auction

    A few sources which I no longer choose to order from:
    Rollingwood Gardens
    Guidry
    Shooters
    Roycrofts
    several sellers on the lily Auction

    Interesting to see where people have ordered from. Here's my (much shorter) list, in no particular order or preference:

    Marietta Gardens (Shooters)
    North Country Daylilies (M. Mason)
    Oakes Daylilies
    Olallie Daylily Garden
    Betty's Country Gardens (no longer in business - she retired)
    G. H. Wild
    Lily Auction

    This year I ordered from Melanie Mason (amazing huge plants), and G. H. Wild (small plants, but they had a couple particular oldies that I wanted).

    Laurel

    Maryotts
    Marietta
    Blueridge (Bob Selman)
    Westbourne
    Pinewood Gardens (Korth)
    Ashwood Gardens (Norris)
    Melanie Mason
    Springwood Gardens (Emmerich)
    Don Herr

    These days I too either order direct from hybridizer or just buy on the Lily Auction. I am sure there are more than what I listed but these are all ones I easily remember and recommend.
