Field of Daylilies

Often we buy our daylilies from a nursery or a plant catalogue with a limited selection.  If you ever have the opportunity to visit a field with acres of daylilies and over 1000 varieties in bloom, GO!  In Lanark County, we are lucky to have such a place.  Rounding the corner in late July and looking out at all of these varieties is a jaw dropping experience.  White House Perennials in Almonte is just such a place.  If you are coming to Eastern Ontario, in the next few weeks, check it out.  It is worth making a special trip.  Read more.
