Mr Fancy Plants Nursery is a small family owned and operated mail order daylily nursery located in Cross Lanes, WV. We sell field grown daylilies that have proven themselves hardy in our zone 6 ammended clay soil.  We are a state licensed and inspected nursery.  Over 100 varieties of daylilies are available for sale with a great selection of reblooming, edged and spider daylilies.  We are also evaluating another 100 or so varieties for sale in 2011.  Visitors are welcome in our gardens June-July by appointment only call 304-395-4525 to schedule.  All pictures are taken on our farm except where noted.  We do not enhance the color of the photos on this website.

We ship daylilies May - September depending on weather.  We ship only daylilies we would wish to receive.   Shipping is done on Mondays and Tuesdays only, to ensure your plants do not sit in a hot warehouse over a weekend. Our shipping charges are based on estimate of actual shipping charge, no handling fees are assessed.   Orders over $150 ship free and bonus are included with all orders.  Quantities on some varieties of daylilies we offer for sale are limited.   All prices are for a double fan or two single fans (i.e. two plants).  All daylilies are guaranteed to be healthy, true to name and of flowering size.  Your satisfaction is our commitment. If for any reason you are dissatisfied with your order contact us immediately.  We will make sure you are satisfied.  As you'll see in our catalog, we have fancy daylilies to fit every need in your perennial garden and daylily collection..

We believe in being as sustainable and organic as possible.  We do not use any chemical fertilizers or insecticides on our farm. We definitely believe the lack of chemicals and liberal use of compost on our farm result in a much healthier and disease resistant plant than one that is dependent on quick fix, petroleum based fertilizers and sprays. We rarely provide extra waterings, prefering to be sure that our cultivars are hardy and will thrive under normal garden settings.  When watering is necessary, we water mainly from collected rain water and an artesian well.    All of our daylilies are selected for performance in normal garden settings. These varieties do not need to be pampered with an abundance of water, fertilizers and perfect soil.

Our current inventory of daylilies includes choice varieties from select breeders. We select only varieties that perform well in our gardens with excellent plant habit, vigorous growth, rebloom, and of course beautiful flowers on strong well branched scapes. Expect us to eliminate any varieties that do not live up to our standards and select others that do. We currently have 50 varieties we are evaluating for possible sale next year.  Any that do not make the cut will be disposed of.  We do not plan to offer thousands of varieties, instead choosing only the most excellent garden performers.  

We have a fledgling hybridizing program.  We hope to subsidize, at least in part this program through the sale of our daylilies. Our goals in hybridizing daylilies are vigorous growth, lush foliage, large flower bloom with sturdy well branched scapes and hardiness.   Any that do not meet all criteria are destined for the compost pile.  We expect to evaluate thousands of our seedlings before creating any that might be worth introducing - if we're lucky.

I want to make a very special thank you to my wonderful wife Diane.  Without her support and persistence we would not be following our daylily dreams.  She makes it all possible.

We want to make a special note to thank Paul Foster and Brian McKinlay at Daylily Meadows and James Gossard at Heavenly gardens.  Their willingness to share their knowledge and their support are greatly appreciated.   A few of the photos on this site belong to them, used here with their permission, credit is given on our wesite.
