Daylily-Cottage Garden Clinic

Horticultural Hints

Daylily Clinic

You are invited to view the daylily collection of Wayne and Kathie Davis and attend a Hemerocallis Clinic on Saturday May 31 at their home in the Sardis community of Cherokee County. The name hemerocallis comes from the Greek terms hemero (for a day) and callis (beauty). It is the genus of the daylily. Daylilies are perhaps the best sun-loving perennial for the south. The Davis family are avid gardeners and in recent years greatly expanded their daylilies. Joe Daniel, Cherokee County Extension Horticulturist will be discussing the propagating and using daylilies in the landscape. The Davis garden is located at 8217 FM 1857 not far from the Sardis church. The program will begin at 10am. Cherokee County Master Gardener Amanda Childress will also be presenting cottage garden tips at the meeting. Anyone who drives by the Childress home on San Antonio Street in Jacksonville knows her garden tips will be top notch.
