Welcome! Leon and I became addicted to daylilies in 1988 and have been nursing the habit ever since. Our home garden is located in what used to be a rural area of Pearland, Texas and expanded into a business venture when the commercial property behind our house became available in the early 1990’s. We grow over 800 different registered cultivars and we plant approximately 5,000 seedlings each year. We also grow many different perennials. Leon is guilty of the act of hybridizing and I guess I’ve become more than an enabler since I have joined him in the practice. It is a lot of work but there is something special about going out early in the morning and seeing a daylily bloom its maiden bloom. It has turned into a labor of love but worth the rewards.
