The Daylily Society of Minnesota promotes the development and enjoyment of daylilies —Hemerocallis—with an emphasis on culture in northern climates.

Our members include award-winning hybridizers, writers, photographers, and editors, as well as daylily collectors and a wide range of gardeners who enjoy beautiful gardens.

Join us for special events throughout the year to learn more about daylilies and enjoy unbeatable daylily camaraderie.
