 Welcome to Lilyfield Farm where we grow lilies and daylilies for Canadian gardeners. Our mail-order catalogue is on-line and easy to order from.
Due
to our location we are not an open garden. Our business is
mail-order only. We provide pictures and
descriptions to help you make garden choices.

This
is one strange spring all over. In response to the inquiries, all
I can say is that the daylilies are barely, if at all appearing.
They will be listed once an inventory has been done. There
is still snow in some places and in others the soil is cold.
If the season is not to late we will list varieties, time will tell.
The only lilies making an appearance so far are a couple of Martagons right against the house. Of course finding weeds is no problem!

The
martagon lilies are blooming and the asiatics have just begun.
Here is a photo of lilium Dalhansonii that is blooming now.
Martagon lilies are early bloomers and enjoy being planted in shade.
The yellow background is a canola field in full bloom.

 Little
bits of green are starting to show up in the garden. Most of the
daylilies are smart enough to stay behind their old foliage until
Spring is a sure thing. The peonies are poking their noses out of
the ground.
Here is a picture of one of our seedlings.
It is Moment in the Sun x Half Moon Key. A lovely short,
budalicious, early daylily.

Check out our Daylily Select Seedling
page as we update our website. In evaluating seedling for
registration we check out there ability to bounce back after being
divided and lined out. Many beautiful faces coming up in our
seedlings!
This year we have added some interesting seedlings to our Lily Select Seedling page.

 This
season is all wrapped up! The commercial crop of lilies and
daylilies has been relocated. Replanting was super quick with the
aid of a tractor and planter! We are looking forward to next year
when the trip out to the lilies is just a walk out into the hayfield!
Check back in 2012 when we will put up our spring list consisting mainly of daylilies.

Back
to nicer weather! We are getting the new land ready for the
lilies and daylilies to be moved to. The soil has been amended
and we are now rototilling it smooth.
Try a couple Martagon lilies to enhance your early summer shade garden. Plant a mass of bulbs with our new Landscape Mix.

Well
we had our first frost, -4 degrees Celcius! Brr. Yesterday
I went out and collected all the seed pods from crosses I made
throughout the year. Some stems are in water to continue
ripening and others are drying.
You can still order from our on-line catalogue, payment can be made by cheque or through Paypal which also acccomodates credit cards.
Add a few hardy lily bulbs and daylily roots to your garden this fall, and enjoy the flowers in summer.

People
of Lethbridge, Alberta....you sure can grow daylilies! I was
just out visiting family in Alberta and was amazed at the daylily
clumps. Beautiful daylilies in several colours, as many as 15
blooms on a plant! The best recipe for growing daylilies is full sun
and plenty of water. I think those gardeners have it
figured.

Want
a plant that is green and growing at the beginning of May? Try
shade-loving Martagon lilies. In the spring garden they are already a
foot tall. Martagons are early blooming lilies and thus are up
early and grow quickly. Martagon bulbs are available for fall
planting. We grow many varieties including Peek's Pink and Mrs
R.O. Backhouse.
