Pinewood Gardens is the daylily garden of Phil and Luella Korth. We are located in northeast Wisconsin in a zone 4 climate. Pinewood Gardens is a licensed nursery specializing in hardy northern daylilies. Our daylilies have to survive winters down to 20 degrees often with little snow. We also have cold spring weather, late frosts and cool summer nights. Only a few daylilies thrive in our climate. We have been hybridizing tetraploid daylilies for 11 years. Our goal is to develop high performance daylilies for northern gardens. The key characteristics that are important to us are: hardiness, consistent opening and beautiful faces. Plant evaluation takes place out in our garden. We expect our seedlings not only to survive but thrive. They must have adequate bud count, nice foliage and be consistently beautiful to look at. We are now seeing many wonderful seedlings and are introducing flowers that are great additions to the northern gardens. This year we have twelve new introductions that have performed wonderfully in our garden. Those we have used in our hybridizing program have proven to be wonderful parents. Due to the limited number of seedlings we grow, we cannot explore all the hybridizing potential of our introductions. Therefore, other gardeners interested in hybridizing may find new opportunities using our introductions. Where possible, we do show examples of the breeding potential of our 2008 introductions. All of our introductions have grown well in our climate but the evergreen foliage types will benefit from some winter mulch.
