Welcome to our website dedicated to the daylilies hybridized and grown in northwest Ohio by Pete and Sally Mondron. We are located in the far northwest corner of Ohio about 4 miles from the Michigan and Indiana borders. Our goal is to produce daylilies for the northern grower. We are in Zone 5 and do not have reliable snow cover in the winter. Our location is generally windy throughout the year. The soil is primarily heavy clay. We do not have a greenhouse and all hybridization is done outdoors in full sun. Peak bloom is usually the second week in July. We primarily offer our own introductions but have a limited number of plants from other hybridizers. We occasionally have a few other perennials available at the nursery also.
Our main hybridizing interests are tetraploid doubles and edges, particularly picotee edges without eyes. We currently plant between 3000 to 5000 new seedlings each year.
We are pleased to announce 7 new introductions for 2008. All have been field grown and proven to be hardy in our state inspected Zone 5 garden. Most of our introductions are very pod and pollen fertile.
