These pages are dedicated to my experience growing Daylilies (Hemerocallis) in a cold climate - Zone 5 - with very cold and wet Springs and cool nights in August.

      My name is Nancy Oakes and I garden on Prince Edward Island on the East Coast of Canada, classified as Zone 5, although it's a very different Zone 5 from places inland.  The Maritime climate moderates extremes to a certain degree, but there can be very long, cold, wet Springs here and that's the time when new Daylily cultivars are put to the test. 
       I have been collecting daylilies for about 30 years, but it has only been in the last 12 or so that I have become involved in a big way, including hybridizing. I grow approximately 900 Daylily cultivars with about 100 new cultivars being added annually.

     I also operate a Daylily mail order business.  You can find Red Lane Gardens here and you can email me at nancy@redlanegaqrdens.com
