Daylilies in Australia
Description
At Mountain View Daylily Gardens, located in Queensland, Australia, I grow large numbers of daylily cultivars & export them all round the world. I believe I am the largest daylily nursery in the Southern Hemisphere, & probably the largest daylily nursery outside of the USA.
I became hooked on daylilies back in 1976 when I was teaching in a little country town in Queensland and now I am a full time daylily nurseryman & a small time hybridiser. I import the best new cultivars from the USA & before long I have these exciting new plants to sell. Our mild Maleny climate & high rainfall, together with my organic growing methods, means that my plants are vigorous, and pest & disease free. When my customers grow my daylilies, they are amazed at their rapid growth & hardiness.
I am almost fanatical about growing my daylilies organically. I believe in the principle of creating a healthy soil so that my plants are in excellent health. My soil is tested at Brookside Laboratory in the USA and the results are analysed by my advisors (Nutri-tech Solutions) who are experts in organic fertilisers & organic horticulture. In addition to the fertiliser blend that is prescribed to balance up the minerals in the soil, I apply foliar sprays every three months. This is made up of seaweed, fish, molasses, & liquid worm castings. The daylilies respond so well to the organic fertilisers & liquid foliar fertilisers that they multiply very quickly. I have no need to spray for pests & I do not have any plants die from so-called “crown rot” (something that is prevalent when growing daylilies using chemical fertilisers.
