CAMDEN — The Maine Daylily Society will host Daylily Day at Merryspring Nature Center on Saturday, July 27, at 9 a.m.

Daylilies are blooming in colorful profusion at Merryspring.

Gardener and daylily hybridizer Susan Shaw will share how easy it is to grow and even hybridize daylily varieties on this walk through the Maine Daylily Society Display Garden. Most of the daylilies in the garden are named cultivars, registered with the American Hemerocallis Society. Some space is taken by 4-6 year old blooming seedlings, some that will be selected to register if they prove to be worthy.

Modern daylilies come in many forms including spiders, ruffled bagels, picotees, UFs and doubles.

“From creamy white to diamond-dusted lemon, grape, raspberry, the colors are luscious,” said Merryspring, in a news release.

Tall or small, there are many varied cultivars on display. Divisions of blooming cultivars may be available to order that day.

The Maine Daylily Society is committed to sharing a love for these carefree garden plants.

Merryspring is your community nature center offering walking trails, cultivated gardens, wildlife, and ecology and horticulture educational programs all year round.
