We are in growing zone 9. Peak bloom is during the month of May.
Payne's in the Grass Daylily Farm will host an Open Garden on Sunday, May 18, 2008, from 9:00 a.m. until 5:00 p.m. We welcome y'all to come and see daylilies at peak bloom. We are also open at other times but it is best to call first to make sure that someone will be there to assist you. We will be closed from May 10, 2008 until May 17, 2008 due to the AHS National convention.
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.
Leon became interested in Bamboo several years ago on a trip to Australia and joined the American Bamboo Society when he got home. We now grow about a dozen different species of large clumping bamboo. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that he doesn't begin to hybridize them. We do sell bamboo in the garden but we don't ship bamboo. We welcome all visitors to our web site and hope you find something you like while visiting here. If you are in our area during May or June, please give us a call and stop by for a visit.
