During the Clivia Bloom Season in March

and During Daylily Season in July

The Garden is located in Westfield, Indiana, about 25 miles north of downtown Indianapolis [click here for regional map]. To visit us, follow state road 32 east from the intersection with US 31 at Westfield for 1.5 miles to Grassy Branch Road. There is a traffic signal at the intersection. Follow Grassy Branch north for about 1/4 mile. The gardens are on the west side of the road, at 17808 (house number is on the mailbox at the roadside). [click here for local map.]

The Gardens will be open in 2008 on extended weekends: Fri - Sat - Sun, from June 27 through July 13, 9 AM - 4 PM EDT local time.

Visits at other times by appointment only (tel. 317-867-3344). Our peak Clivia bloom season is usually in March. Our iris collection blooms mostly in May. Our peak daylily bloom season is usually late June and early and mid July. Since we are looking for extra-early and very late blooming varieties of daylilies, you can expect to see some daylilies in bloom from mid-May through mid-September.

We offer, in season, a selection of rare and unusual flower bulbs, mainly tender varieties from South Africa. Some are surprisingly hardy in cold (USDA zones 6, even 5) areas.

We offer Clivia, both seeds and plants, again in season. These make beautiful house plants, blooming in late winter or very early spring with proper care.

Our daylilies number over 200 varieties, new and old.

We can ship bulbs, plants, and seeds all over the world. Telephone ++1-317-867-3344. (Man spricht auch Deutsch.)
