The daylilies are as beautiful and individual as each person and each day at the Hospice Society.
Now people can buy a daylily and, if they want, name and register it in memory of a loved one before they plant it in their garden. It’s part of the BX Creek Daylilies annual seedling sale with 75 per cent of proceeds being donated to the Vernon and District Hospice Society.
Each of the seedlings — seedling means simply a plant that has not been registered, these are four years old — is genetically unique. They are just coming into flower now with colours and markings including dark red to pink, peach, yellow and white.
The plants are part of the hybridization program at BX Creek Daylilies, a demonstration garden for the American Hemerocallis Society (AHS). Allen and Gail Morgan started growing daylilies when they noticed that the plants were the only ones that bloomed consistently over the summer in their perennial garden.
