Making Them
Bloom For You
From our rain soaked garden in the Bluegrass
Welcome back!
We are excited to announce that soon we will reveal our new introductions for 2025. Additionally, we will be launching our first major sale since moving over seventeen thousand daylilies from Florida to Kentucky. In the meantime, we are updating our website with many new offerings.
As of May 25, many of our daylily clumps are three feet tall and at least as wide. The more than twenty inches of rain we've received since April 3 has resulted in thriving daylilies, but it has made digging a bit challenging—especially for someone who is 82 years old! If you are in the area, we would love for you to stop by and chat about daylilies. We are currently busy during peak shipping days over the next few weeks.
Please call or email us for an appointment prior to June 15. I'm 82 and the only things I love more than daylilies are Wally the dog, food, and a nap!

How Our Business Bloomed!
Ed Kirchhoff founded Daylily World in the mid-1960s, building on his grandfather's legacy as a third-generation nurseryman in Sanford, Florida. He had learned to hybridize gladiolus and other flowering plants in the 1920s.
David Kirchhoff (Ed Jr) and his partner, Mort Morss, came to Daylily World, sharing the hobby and fondness for all things daylilies in the early 1970s. Soon, their journey with daylilies began. Sadly, Mort passed away in 2023.
Maintaining a daylily garden of this size requires hundreds of hours of care. David is thankful for the dedication of Elias Raymundo Montes and Patricia Perez. Elias has been taking care of much of the heavy lifting in the garden for the past fourteen years and is an integral part of Daylily World.
