EnglishWhere to Find Daylily Growing and Care Information from the Lone Star Daylily Society
Updated
The Lone Star Daylily Society website, lonestardaylilysociety.org, is the place to start: it lists a Growing Daylilies section described as teaching how to grow and care for daylilies. The site does not publish the full growing guide on its home page, so use that section for cultivation basics and treat the club's meetings as the second source for hands-on advice. This answer fits home gardeners in Texas and New Mexico, the society's Region 6 area, and anyone willing to visit the site or attend a meeting in Alvin, TX.
What the site offers for growing daylilies
The home page frames the club's purpose as sharing "knowledge and the beauty of the daylily" and describes members who "love growing, hybridizing, talking about daylilies, and learning more about them." Its own menu of website contents includes:
- Growing Daylilies – how to grow and care for them
- Daylily Sales – information about the club's plant sales
- Our Member Daylilies – daylilies grown by members
- Meetings – monthly gathering details
- Facebook Group – ongoing discussion and updates
For care questions, the Growing Daylilies page is the direct destination. For seeing what healthy plants look like in local conditions, the Member Daylilies page and the Facebook feed give real examples from growers in the same climate.
Getting advice beyond the web page
The society meets on the 3rd Sunday of each month, 2:00 pm–5:00 pm, at the Alvin Senior Citizen's Building, 309 West Sealy, Alvin, TX 77511. Meetings are open to the public and visitors are welcome. The format is club business, then a presentation by a guest or club member, then a daylily raffle — so a cultivation question can often be raised directly with experienced growers.
Two practical notes:
- Confirm the date before traveling; the site points to a meetings calendar for scheduling.
- Plant sales are tracked on a separate Google Calendar linked from the site, useful if you want to start with locally grown plants rather than mail order.
How to use these sources together
| Need | Best source on the site | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Basic planting and care steps | Growing Daylilies section | Written as cultivation guidance |
| Local climate suitability | Member Daylilies, Facebook feed | Plants grown by members in the region |
| Specific pest or variety questions | Monthly meeting | Direct conversation with growers |
| Buying plants | Daylily Sales and plant sales calendar | Club-run sales with local stock |
A sensible sequence for a new grower: read the Growing Daylilies section first, browse member plants to pick varieties that suit your space, then bring remaining questions to a meeting. The site does not state whether the growing guidance is a full guide or a short overview, so check the section itself before relying on it as your only reference.
