PAM ERIKSON'S YEAR 2007
DAYLILY INTRODUCTIONS
In
my breeding program, I have many lines in progress - my favorite of
which are the miniature daylilies, geared toward promoting more container
growing of daylilies by gardeners with small spaces or patio gardens.
Soft pinks with unique and distinctive eye patterns are a particular trait I
look for, along with long season of bloom and tolerance to cold nights.
The following are all available for shipping in spring 2007
- to both the U.S. and Canada. Orders may be placed now to guarantee
spring delivery. All new introductions are single fan divisions
(you may get a double depending on the variety). Please forward your
check (including applicable charges and shipping fees - see below)
including your full name and address, including zip or postal code to:
Erikson's Daylily Gardens, 24642 - 51 Ave., Langley, B.C. Canada
V2Z 1H9. Please state clearly how many of which cultivar you require.

For the first time,
our entire collection of new introductions for 2007 are dedicated to one family
- the members of the McCarthy family who reside in Burnaby, B.C. and their
country estate located in Hatzic Prairie, just east of Mission, B.C. Their country property is known as Shiloh
Hill (Shiloh means “Place of Peace”) and consists of 16 extensively landscaped
acres with several structures, including the main residence named “Mission
Claire” in honour of William McCarthy’s daughter Claire and the city of Mission.
In addition to a
leading a very full life as a property developer, manager and consultant,
William McCarthy is an avid gardener, having completed the Master Gardeners and
Advanced Master Gardeners programs, as well as earning a Certificate in Garden
Design from UBC. He is also a certified
Bee Master, with his apiaries located at Shiloh Hill. It is at this amazing property where he
continues his extensive landscaping and gardening projects, having planted over
250,000 trees, shrubs, plants and bulbs to date!
Daylilies and roses
and among William McCarthy’s favorites, and he has planted hundreds of
both. William and his family have been
regular visitors to our gardens, and we consider it an honour to have been able
to offer them the opportunity to have plants in their names.
The front cover
showcases this collection with full descriptions just before our general
listings. As always, our new
introductions are guaranteed hardy across the country, generally to zone
2-3. We are particularly proud of this
years intros as they have garnered much attention from visitors to the gardens
in the past two years. We will continue
to endeavor to maintain this high quality of plant material in coming years and
look forward to many more introductions that excite both us and you, the
dedicated gardener!
