Vermont Daylilies - All $7.99

I will put here my most recent inventory of daylilies that are potted up and ready for sale.  I keep them by the barn, while my other perennials are by the greenhouse.





They come in all shapes and colors - red, white and trying to be blue, but not quite making it.  Short, tall, doubles, spiders - we try to offer them all and stick with the same price, $7.99 each.

This is Joanna Lloyd, a gal who comes in twice a week on mornings to help us weed for a few hours.


We have four garden areas where we grow daylilies.  Below is "the road garden".





And here is a list of varieties -
