Welcome to Laurel Hill Nursery, LLC, a family owned and operated nursery specializing in daylilies. We are located in a peaceful hollow in the Appalachian Mountains of southwestern Virginia.
Please note: we will be closed Friday and Sunday, September 9 and 11!
2011 Fall Sale
We have 29 cultivars in our "clump" sale this fall. Click here for details.
The daylilies have pretty much finished blooming for this year. They were really beautiful this summer...of course they always are! Perhaps some of them will bloom in your garden next year :-). We will continue shipping till October 15th.
Make sure you plant your daylilies at least six weeks before the ground freezes and they should be fine. Less time than that is risky.
Happy gardening!
~ The Folks at Laurel Hill Nursery
The daylily is a member of the lily family Liliaceae and the genus Hemerocallis. Daylilies are native to the countries of Japan, Siberia, Korea, China, and Eurasia. In the early 1930s, hybridizers in the United States and England began to work with the wild daylilies to produce different colors and flower shapes. Today, there is a wide range of colors, including near white, cream, creamy yellow, lemon-yellow, golden-yellow, orange, apricot, pink, rose, scarlet, wine red, red-violet, purple, and many combinations of those. Modern daylilies display a complex variety of special features such as eyes, watermarks, halos, picotee edges, and diamond dusting. Click here to see our catalog. Daylilies are "the perfect perennial" because:
- They will grow and thrive in a wide range of climates (depending on the cultivar)
- They are delightfully (although, unfortunately, not completely) pest free and disease free, and thus a good choice for any gardener who doesn't want to have to fuss over his or her flowers.
- They are generally easy to grow and notoriously resistant to dying, even at the hands of brown-thumbers. They are drought-resistant and undemanding.
- There are many different colors, shapes, and sizes available
Heritage Daylilies
Whether you know them as Vintage Daylilies, Heritage Daylilies, or Heirloom Daylilies, they have an old-fashioned, simple charm about them. We have several varieties available at excellent prices. See list here.
