Fairyscape Daylilies is located in beautiful Southern Ontario. We back onto a 3,300 acre conservation area teeming with birds and wildlife. This picture of the sunset was taken from our back balcony - truly a paradise for the nature lover. Our garden is in Region 4, Zone 6b. I am a member of the Ontario Daylily Society and the American Hemerocallis Society. As collectors of daylilies, we have over 1,000 cultivars in the garden, plus about 400 other perennials. Each spring there is need to make room for new arrivals so extras are sold. |
Please see our Catalogue for
current offerings. You may also check out the DAYLILY
DISPLAY LIST- if something tugs at your heart, email us, there may
be some to spare. Returning customers may notice that the new pricelist
contains more new introductions and cutting edge cultivars, and less
older and common daylilies. This is partly because our interest lies
in newer introductions for hybridizing purposes, and also because we
would like to offer these amazing plants to fellow Canadians without
the headaches of phytosanitary fees and international shipping. Fairyscape
buys directly from US hybridizers, and after plants have weathered
at least one Canadian winter, we are usually willing to share. |

The Dundas Valley is a birding hotspot with over 300 bird species to see. The Indigo Bunting (below left) is one of my very favourites, such a brilliant blue. The Eastern Bluebird (below right) resides here in the summer also and is another favourite. Photos taken with my Canon EOS 50D and 70-300mm zoom. |

Deer are abundant here and a menace to the garden. I use motion detector sprinklers to keep them from the daylilies. I set them out in the spring to train deer to avoid our lot. After a few weeks the sprinklers are turned off, and as long as they are visible, the deer avoid our gardens. It works very effectively. I almost walked right into this doe as I was going birding out back. She took her time checking me out. I was about 10 feet away from her and we stood there watching each other for what seemed a few minutes. She sprang off but didn't go far, keeping an eye on me as she grazed. |

Why the the name 'Fairyscape Daylilies'? The name came to me as I strolled through the garden one summer evening . Checking my flowers for deer damage, I was struck at how magically a little solar lamp illuminated the dark, glowing as if out of a fairy tale. It was the first of many solar lamps I purchased, with a cute little fairy sitting underneath a spotted toadstool. Move your curser over the picture below and the fairy will reveal herself to you! |
