Greetings to our daylily friends around the world!

Wow! What a super exciting 2014 bloom season we had here at Art Gallery Gardens. We are looking forward to our 2015 seedlings which should be the most diverse and interesting with the use of many converted daylilies and with the new advanced selected seedlings.

Our new 2015 introductions I consider to be some of my best ever - from giant blues to wonderful patterns and toothier than ever toothies. BLUE-EYED OCTOPUS is the bluest and largest eyed UF I've ever seen along with some wonderful patterned UFs coming along. The range of diploid diversity is really incredible with really great advancements coming.

For spring 2015 we have nine dazzling diploids and twenty-two terrific tetraploids. All of these new 2015 intros have been outstanding in the garden and we hope that you will enjoy them.

Peak daylily bloom season is from May through June. Art Gallery Gardens is open for visitors during bloom season by appointment - Tuesdays through Sundays from 8 am to 1 pm. Closed Mondays for shipping.

No appointments are needed for garden visits during our DAYLILY MECCA celebration. Art Gallery Gardens and our fellow Florida daylily gardens invite you to join us in May for DAYLILY MECCA 2015.

To accommodate DAYLILY MECCA 2015 visitors, Art Gallery Gardens will be open DAILY for the extended hours of 8 am to 2 pm from Tuesday, May 13th through Tuesday, May 19th. Refreshments will be served.

We look forward to visiting with you in our garden!
