ABOUT US
We are a small,
family owned and operated daylily nursery, licensed and state-inspected,
in Mount Eden, Kentucky, located next to Taylorsville Lake State Park.
My husband Wally and I started growing daylilies about 8 years ago when
we bought 30 acres in Mount Eden. Gosh, how time flies.
I do not think either of us anticipated how involved or enthralled we
would be with daylilies when we planted that first daylily. I love them,
from the oldies to the latest cutting edge cultivar, the tall, lanky
spiders, the ones with teeth and the ruffled, bubbly edged ones. I love
them all! They are so easy to grow and soooooo forgiving.
That first
daylily multiplied into many others and now we grow over 1300 cultivars
and thousands of plants. We have spent many hours digging beds, planting
daylilies, watching them grow, dividing them, putting in more beds, and
watching them grow some more. It has been hard work but a labor of love.
We practice organic farming methods as much
as possible. We have never used any chemical pesticides on our plants;
we let nature’s bounty such as ladybugs, toads, beneficial nematodes,
and praying mantis take care of most of the pesky critters. We do spray
routinely with a fungicide to prevent daylily rust in order to keep the
garden free of this problem. We also dip plants in fungicide or a
Chlorox solution prior to shipment. If you would prefer that we not dip
your plants, please let us know. |
Our plants are field-grown in heavy Kentucky clay which we amend with
compost and organic fertilizers (manures, alfalfa meal, etc.). We have
started mulching to help preserve moisture and to keep the weeds under
control. We do not generally mulch in the winter, except for the new
plantings and a few soft evergreens which we do baby a bit because we
like them so much. We have noted this in the catalog.
If you would like to contact us for any reason, please email us at info@possumridgedaylilies.com.
We enjoy hearing from you and welcome your feedback, good or bad.
