​Did you know The Garden is registered Daylily Display Garden with the American Hemerocallis Society (AHS)? We pride ourselves on our Daylilies and our very own dayliliy hybridizing expert, Dr. William Tyler. Through the process of hybridization, new daylily cultivars (or types of flowers) are born. These new cultivars exhibit new colors, shapes and sizes and add to the beautiful diversity of the daylily family! There are currently more than 80,000 such cultivars registered with the AHS.

Need some inspiration?

Please peruse the sample listing of current named daylilies in our registered collection (at right). The possibilities are endless...from loving and reverent to silly and secret!

Visit The Daylily Display Garden at WKBG today! The flowers will start blooming soon and their diversity and beauty is sure to get you inspired. Be sure to peruse the naming plates that accompany each variety for ideas on your own naming rights! Also, click here for a list of award winning daylily names.
