2008 Welcome to Bluegrass Daylily Gardens…
We would like to thank all our 2007 customers who visited via our website and gardens. 2007 was an ugly year around here. The early spring, followed by heavy freezes, drought and a very bad hail storm just before bloom season, put a damper on things. Hail destroyed everything.
We may have had 30 percent blooms at peak and many varieties did not even bloom.
You really don’t appreciate the beauty until it is not there. So…we are ready for a fantastic 2008 and are looking forward again to blooms and beauty everywhere.
If you have not had a chance to visit, please do so this year, during our BLOOM FEST. This is a good time to take freshly dug daylilies home with you. Bring a friend and share!
Bluegrass Daylily Gardens grows over 400 tried and true oldies-but-goodies and newer cutting edge daylilies by well-known hybridizers, adding more each year. We sell double fans and try to be as generous as we can and include more, where possible. Some varieties, especially the newer ones, are in limited supply, but we try to make them

History: Located in the Bluegrass Region of Kentucky near Shelbyville. We are a family owned business that got started, like most, with the need to divide plants and the desire to acquire more and fund our new addiction. Our first purchase was a clump Raspberry Pixie from a dear friend, Linda Casey. Jenny wanted flowers and color, I wanted foliage and ground cover. We paid $40 and divided them to one and two fans, then prayed that our expensive investment would not die.
Needless to say, they did great and we soon found ourselves searching everywhere for more color and bigger blooms. Each year our tastes changed from pinks to reds to purples and oranges. Doubles and spiders started popping up too.
Bigger beds were made and old ones expanded. Finally, we had what was the start of a nice garden that family and friends enjoyed as much as we did. The next step was to put out a sign and open the gardens for “business”.
We are a licensed, state inspected garden, free of disease and daylily rust. Plants are healthy and true to name. We offer quick and easy payment through Paypal, if you would like to use a credit card. Of course, checks and money orders are also accepted.
If you would like to visit us while in Kentucky, please contact us a head of time. We would not want to miss you. We would be happy to dig your daylilies while you are here, weather permitting.
God Bless,
Chuck and Jenny Williams
