  • Saturday, July 11, 11:00 am – 3:30 pm – New England Daylily Society Show & Sale

    The New England Daylily Society welcomes the public to a display of extraordinary daylilies, highlighting the wide variety of sizes, forms, colors, and patterns grown by daylily enthusiasts from the New England region. Every year, hybridizers introduce the latest and greatest of new cultivars, adding to the more than 88,000 already registered varieties. Mid-July is peak season for daylily bloom in our area and therefore the perfect time to showcase the best in Hemerocallis, the scientific name for daylily. Up until the morning of the show, society members don’t know which flowers they will be bringing since each bloom lasts for only one day and you can never be sure which flowers will be open. Come see the show and vote for your favorites! Sales tables will be open (cash or check only) and expert growers will be there to answer your questions. The event takes place on July 11 from 11 – 3:30 at the New England Botanic Garden at Tower Hill. For more information, and to purchase entrance tickets online, visit https://nebg.org/shows/
