Another Spring!

Hey Everyone! Hard to believe another year has come and gone, but here we are, and another Spring!

We open to the public on Thursday, April 4th, and will be open Thursday, Friday, and Saturday every week until July 4th. We'll be closed after the 4th for July and August, but will reopen Sept 1st through the end of Oct for Fall planting. However, we live at our nursery, so if you'd like to visit with us at a time outside of our scheduled hours, just call in advance. We're happy to meet with you as long as we're not away from the nursery.

As in every year, we're terribly excited to begin the season. We have spent many days during the offseason, weeding, mulching, fertilizing, planting, and preparing our nursery for the season. We're excited to see our lilies popping out of the ground, and many have appeared to have multiplied over the Winter. If you're not getting proliferation that you want from your daylilies, note if they're too bunched up or lacking proper fertilization. We divide our daylilies in early April or early Fall if there are more than 6 or 7 fans per cluster. We fertilize our daylilies in early Spring (now) and again in early Fall.

This year we're further excited for a couple of reasons; we've added several new flowers, see below. Also, we'll be registering more of our hybrids later this season (toward the end of Spring), once we confirm consistent growing patterns on many we observed last season.

Speaking of last season, if you recall, we were/are running a sale as we cull our varieties (those that are very similar to each other) so that we can focus on offering more of the popular varieties, and add new varieties and our new registers. We'll continue to run that sale as long as supplies of the discontinued varieties last. Check out our Clearance page for the discounted ideas. Just remember that many of the discontinued varieties are selling out fast. We try to update our website to reflect those that are gone, but sometimes things move quickly.

We're looking forward to opening day on Thursday, April 4th. Many of you have already contacted us with plans to visit that first w/end, so we look forward to meeting you soon!

As I mentioned earlier, we've added a handful of new varieties for this season, please see the new varieties below and let us know your thoughts or questions.

We look forward to visiting with you very soon!

Blood, Sweat, and Tears

Dark Champagne

Jekyl Island

Rags To Riches

Storm Shelter

You've Got Soul

**Also, not a new one, but absolutely my favorite daylily. I took this picture last May, and observed it rebloom at least twice more during the season. South Seas is very prolific, doubling or more in number every season. Additionally, it grows well in pots or in the ground. Also, it is highly disease resistent. If I could only own one daylily, it would be South Seas**

Also, everyone, please send us some pictures of your best to info@hemingwaynursery.com. If we publish them in our newsletter, we'll send you a gift certificate that you can use with your next purchase.

As a reminder, our nursery is open from 9 am to 4 pm Thursday-Saturdays for visitors, beginning April 4th through July 3rd. We're closed July 4th through the end of August, but open again Sept through Oct for Fall planting. That said, we live at our nursery, so if you want to come another time just call ahead, and we'll do our best to accommodate.
