Welcome to Springwood Gardens, the country home of Dick, Karol and Jim Emmerich, and Karol’s daylily farm. We’re located about 30 miles southwest of Minneapolis on top of a wind-swept hill. As such, we experience cold Zone 4 temperatures, usually with little to no snow cover.

Karol’s goal is to produce cutting edge, northern hardy daylilies which:

> perform well in the garden
> are distinctive
> have beautiful, clear (or even unusual) color or interesting patterns.
> put a smile on your face when you look at them. :-)

ORDER FORM AND SALES INFORMATION

Interested in the thinking process behind the creation of these flowers? CLICK HERE TO SEE A POWERPOINT OF SPRINGWOOD GARDENS INTRODUCTIONS AND SEEDLINGS. Please note that this is a large file (159 slides) and is not recommended for dial-up. Because of the file size, with some internet service providers it may take 3-5 minutes or longer before you see anything happening on your computer screen - but it is worth the wait if you have the time:-) Your screen will eventually ask if you want to open or save the file - if you want to see it more than once, you'll probably want to save it. It is also probable that you will need powerpoint software on your computer to open the file.

DAYLILY NAMES – Producing beautiful plants with inspiring names is the reason Karol started hybridizing. She tries hard to match the name with the face and plant habit. Many of the names have multiple meanings, ranging from serious to playful. Click on the link to see what’s behind the name of each new introduction.

You might be interested in what the future holds:

POSSIBLE FUTURE INTRODUCTIONS - these seedlings are in the later stages of testing and/or multiplication and may be introduced at some point in the future.


OTHER SEEDLINGS OF INTEREST – Karol grows about 5000 new seedlings each year. The following seedlings are a sampling of the bloom, and will give you an idea of the genetics being used. Karol’s goal is to put these kinds of faces on strong, well-branched, northern hardy plants. The 1999-2009 greenhouse seedlings pictured below have all been moved outside for testing. Some have already been introduced, some will be introduced in the near future (see POSSIBLE FUTURE INTRODUCTIONS link above), some are still being watched, and some have been moved into the display area (budcount is too low to introduce, but the faces are too beautiful to part with). However, most of them are just a nice memory, as they failed to meet all of the criteria for selection as an introduction.
