Homeplace Gardens... the daylilies of Ken & Cindy Dye

Welcome...

.... to the website of Ken and Cindy Dye, hybridizers and garden judges of daylilies for more than 20 years. We have been blessed and thrilled to have won the REGION 15 JEFFCOAT HYBRIDIZER’S AWARD - Cindy in 2009 and Ken in 2010. We want to thank all the great daylily people who encourage us by buying our plants and with your words of kindness. We are a state inspected garden and are open to visitors in JUNE, by advance notice, as we do attend many National and Regional daylily conventions. We are zone 7 with 4 distinct seasons.

TO DYE FOR* Cindy Dye (Homeplace Debutante X Mildred Mitchell) This beauty has it all - form, edge, eye, buds, branching, and color. It is a 6 ½” flower on a 30” scape with 4 branches and is an early morning opener. The blue violet eyezone and very fancy ¾” edge show well against the pale cream peach base color of the flower. I think you will like it as much as I do.

TETRA LINDA GLUCK* (Dye/Trimmer ) This conversion is a pollen fertile chimera and will set pods yielding 2 or 3 seeds. Seed production increases when pollen is used on a fertile pod parent. The importance of this conversion is in bringing extra large size into a program. It has taken my pinks and edge no eyes from 6” to 8” in one generation. The diploid parents were FORSYTHE FLAMING SNOW and SEAL OF APPROVAL. It is very dormant and vigorous.
