Lasting Dreams Daylilies Information

We are pleased to share the arrival of our Daylily Peak Bloom Season for 2018. This is the time of the year where visitors will have the ability to view the largest selection of the daylilies we grow, in beautiful bloom; and we estimate over 1500 varieties available to enjoy now. If you can only visit us once in a season, now is the time to come out and truly enjoy these works of art which we look forward to sharing with our returning visitors and customers, as well as the general public, year over year. Farther down this page you will find our regular hours posted two weeks out, we do this so visitors can plan their visit; as always however we can accommodate personal appointments if you contact us in advance. We just returned from the AHS 2018 National Convention in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. The good news is we have some great additions to the garden as this is also a buying opportunity for us; pictures can only show you so much, for us we want to see the plant habit as well. Gardens Buffalo Niagara is the lead organization for all the garden events taking place in Western New York, and their program is now in full swing with various events; visit their website or pickup a handbook to see all the events available during the season. One of those events will be the Hamburg Garden Walk , where again this year we will be a vendor at the event so stop by and visit us; and remember that our Display Garden/Nursery is only minutes from Memorial Park. One listing you won't find on the Gardens Buffalo Niagara website or in their handbook is ours. As a commercial Display Garden and Nursery, we are restricted from participating in this event as a listed garden destination, but we have never let that stand in the way of visitors enjoying the Largest and Premier DaylilyDisplay Garden in the Buffalo/Niagara Region ; as in past years whenever we're open, it's " Open Gardens " and everyone is welcome to visit. What we recommend is that you like and follow us on Facebook, as that is the site where we can communicate with the largest group of people, and we always keep everyone apprised when bloom season begins, and at all seven bloom points during the year...especially Peak Bloom. Just a reminder for first time visitors, allow sufficient time for your visit. You can take as long as you wish if you are just viewing the gardens, but if you do wish to place an order keep in mind that it will add some time to your visit. We normally don't have helpers on regular days, and we usually dig your order while you wait; although it is common for people to order and go grab some lunch, or order for pickup on a different day. We do however have a good selection of daylilies in pots ready to go out the door if you are pressed for time; we always find a way to work with our customers to meet their situation. Also as we enter the full swing of Summer gardening in Western New York, don't pass on the opportunity for events hosted in our area especially those by local regional clubs, like the Buffalo Area Daylily Society, the Finger Lakes Daylily Society, and the Ontario Daylily Society, all daylily centric. Or those by other organizations such as the Western New York Hosta Society, or the myriad of clubs under the banner of District 8 Federated Garden Clubs Of New York. Watch our event listing both here and on our Facebook page, where we will start posting various activities we think are of interest to our readers, and feel good about recommending. Keep in mind that some have cutoffs on attendees, and most all have early bird pricing for registration and lodging. Also, if you aren't already, we encourage you to join the Americian Hemerocallis Society (you can find the link farther down this page), and also link up with a local club in your area. To find one in your area, cut and paste this link in your browser: (http://www.daylilies.org/AHSreg.html). Not only do you have the opportunity to expand your knowledge, but it's a great opportunity to share garden experiences with like minded people. As a reminder as birthdays and other holidays, our Gift Certificates are available for purchase year round, and are available here in paper form, by mail, or by e-mail where you can print it yourself. Also if you are a professional in a field and looking for that perfect gift for a client or associate, a Gift Certificate allows them an opportunity to pick a special daylily which they will always enjoy and associate with you; of course we also can provide a potted daylily for presentation as well. Our certificates are available in any denomination, never expire, and are good on purchases of items from our Gift Shop as well as plants. We have a nice selection of home and garden decor, with an extensive display of candlelight gifts, including Kincaid Garden Markers which we use here in the Display Gardens. So as we finally open for the 2018 Garden Season, we plan to have some special opportunities in store for all our visitors, but especially our repeat customers and Facebook followers. If you want to be one of the first to learn of these opportunities and events, you need to follow us on Facebook, as that will be the primary platform we will use to promote what's happening throughout the year, offering deals not found elsewhere. If you want a preview of what's in store when you visit, we have albums posted of daylily images taken here at our garden, and these can be currently found on our Facebook page, and the albums are by alphabetical order. Just click the "Photo" tab on our Facebook Page, or by clicking this link , and you want to view the albums which are titled "2018 Catalog Images - Complete" , which are in alphabetical order. We are featuring over 2000 AHS Registered cultivars for you to enjoy this season, and it is always been our goal to present our visitors in particular, and the community as a whole with a destination garden experience; where we can feature our unique Gallery Of Garden Artistry for all to enjoy. We are pleased and honored to feature the works of over 300 Hybridizers spanning 76 years of dedication and creativity. You can find our hours posted below, but they can also be found on our Facebook page and Google. When planning for next season, remember we always recommend at least three visits a year: Late May through June for the Early Blooms, July to Mid August for Mid-season Blooms, and Mid August through October for Late Blooms and Rebloom.
