Welcome to our website
SHADOW CHASER(Sherman 2018)
We maintain a relatively small garden in central Illinois. We are fortunate to be gardening in some of the richest soil on earth. Most of the daylilies
love it here. We plant 1000-1500 seedlings annually and sell our remaining seeds on THE LILY AUCTION. We occasionally make introductions of new hybrids. They will be offered here.
Our garden is closed during the bloom season. We are just too busy then to entertain visitors. We will, on occasion, make an exception for someone who has been a good customer during the previous twelve months. Even then, arrangments need to be made well ahead of time.
We have discovered a need for hybridizing supplies. We attempt to supply at least some of that need. They will be offered in varying quantities and we will try to keep them
available year around. If there is something you need and don't see it here, perhaps we can help you find it.
THANK YOU FOR VIEWING OUR 2023 INTRODUCTIONS. THIS YEAR WE ARE OFFERING THREE NEW HYBRIDS FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION. TWO OF THEM ARE SEMI-EVERGREEN AND ONE IS DORMANT. ALL HAVE PROVEN TO BE VERY HARDY IN OUR ZONE 5 GARDEN. THEY ARE ALL LIMITED AND ARE BEING OFFERED AS SINGLE FAN DIVISIONS. SHIPPING IS $12 FOR ALL OF THE 2023 AND PREVIOUS INTROS WE SHIP AT THE SAME TIME. WE SHIP IN THE SPRING WHEN WEATHER CONDITIONS ALLOW. NORMALLY THIS IS BEFORE THE SECOND WEEK OF MAY.
