Dazzling Daylilies for any garden.
Daylilies (Hemerocallis) are the most reliable, hardy and easy care perennials for your garden. Evergreen types are well suited for West Coast and South East gardens, while hardy deciduous types give a long season of color as far North as Canada and Alaska and everywhere in between. The display gardens at Amador Flower Farms include majestic oaks, water features, perennials, roses and daylilies. Bring a picnic lunch and enjoy the day strolling among the acres of blooms.
The retail nursery on site offers a wide array of plants and shrubs along with choice gifts and garden accessories.
Mail order daylilies are available year round.

While visiting Amador Flower Farm, Dave and the Coastal Gardener family stay at the charming country home style Amador Harvest Inn on the grounds of Deaver Vineyards. Wake up to fresh baked scones while the morning light shines across the wide pond overlooked by oaks, cottonwoods and gardens in the Shenandoah Valley wine region.
