UPDATE: I have sold my entire program to Tim Stout. He will be registering and introducing the remainder of the introductions hybridized by me over the next few years. I am no longer selling daylilies as I prepare to retire in the next year and relocate to the beautiful country of Panama.
INTRODUCTIONS
 |
Patterned diploid with teeth!! |
This year, I have 19 new introductions that I am very proud of and should do very well all across the United States. There is a mix of diploids and tetraploids, singles and a double, patterns, and some strange and unusual finds. All introductions are very limited. Some are so limited that I will only have 3 or 4 divisions to sell. Please send me a text to 404-626-2869 or send a message on Facebook Messenger to ensure that the plants you would like are available. You may email me also at wilprof@aol.com but I sometimes go for a period of time without checking my personal email.
The 2023 introductions are listed as single fan divisions but I try to be very generous with what I send when I can. There will be NO bonus plants with new introductions. Shipping is $15 for the first three plants and $2 per plant after that. I ship priority mail through the USPS. Payment is due when you order. I accept check, money order, and PayPal payments. PayPal payments should be sent to wilprof@aol.com and MUST be sent as "Friends and Family".
Shipping will begin after April 15th.

Checks should be made out to William Marchant.
I have worked very diligently to produce plants with good hardiness, rust resistance, and great plant habit. I have also been very selective to ensure that my plants are not just "look alikes" of other plants already on the market. I also love to work with dormant plants. It has been my goal to have the majority of my introductions to exhibit dormancy and I am getting very close to that goal. The plants that are listed as SeV or Ev have gone through freeze thaw cycles and just this winter have done well even though we have had lows in the single digits with no snow cover or mulch.
At this time, due to the fact that my hybridizing is winding down and my work hours are long, I am no longer open for garden visits. Exceptions can be made by prior arrangement. 2022 was a difficult year with very little rain and long work hours. For many years, I had a month during the summer to work in the garden but when I became a district administrator, that time went away. And as I have gotten older, my body can and wants to do less than it used to do.
**All names are pending until approved by the AHS registrar.
Also, as many of you know, my hybridizing career is starting to wind down I plan on retiring as an educator in 2025 and we have plans to move to Central America at that time. So, I am no longer planting seeds or new seedlings. I hope to sell my hybridizing program by late 2024 so that I can work on leveling beds and getting the property ready for the market. I have hundreds of selected seedlings that are introduction quality that will allow another individual to carry on the lines that I have worked so diligently on for the last 25 years. There are seedlings among those selects that are mind blowing. It is hard to think about no longer creating new daylily cultivars, but we are ready for a change of pace in life and political climate.
I will have a few fall 2023 introductions and then will have one final round of introductions in the spring of 2024.

And finally 17-04 is ready for release. I could set the price at double what I am listing it for but with the current state of inflation, I want it to be affordable for anyone who wants it.
