Solaris Farms specializes in far northern
hardy Hemerocallis (daylily), Paeonia (peony), and Lilium
(true lilies). We have active daylily,
herbaceous and tree peony hybridizing programs in process outdoors at our farm.
On our website are listed many selections that
we think
are superior plants for northern gardens. All of Solaris' plants
are grown outside in fields and are not winter protected, to ensure hardiness
for the gardener that wants plants that perform in difficult (but normal)
conditions. We take pride in the plants we sell and enjoy distributing
quality material deserving northern climate recognition. Selling large
quantities, fads, beautiful faces and southern cultivars are not our mission.
Rock solid performers that will grow and prosper for many years are the plants
we most like, and in turn, would like to share generous portions of with our
customers.
Daylilies, Peonies and Lilium may be purchased at the farm or through the mail. Peonies and Lilium are only shipped during the fall months (best time for transplant), but may be preordered at any time during the year. Not all of the plants we sell are listed on the website for numerous reasons. If you have a special plant in mind, please inquire, we may have it available.
Visitors are welcome from July
10th through August 15th, or by appointment other times.
We are closed on
Mondays and Tuesdays during the July 10 to August 15 period to catch our
breath.
Peak daylily bloom is a great time to visit and we will dig plants for customers
to take home on the spot. For more information about farm visits, hours,
directions, etc...., please use our link to
Visiting the Farm.
Please see our 'Hardy Plant Info' pages for thoughts, news, perspectives, and some opinions we generated over the past years. Weather, disease, daylily economics, daylily cultivars and hardiness are among some of the subjects tackled. Peonies have become a new passion at the farm and we are working to supply solid information for Wisconsin gardeners interested in this outstanding plant as well.
If you are interested in getting involved with daylilies in greater depth, consider joining our local daylily society...Bay Area Daylily Buds. The club has many great activities for both the beginner and the avid daylily enthusiasts.
Enjoy and hope to see you in July 2009!
