Water-Wise Without the Compromise®A dazzling array of plant combinations

   …living lush in a thirsty land
It is true. Southern California is facing severe water shortages. We can assure you that mandatory water rationing is around the corner. What are you going to do with your dead lawn?

We can tell you what your neighbors are going to be doing. They're being urged to use "natives." Most California natives are difficult to grow and dreary, crisp and grey all year except for the few cool months of the California rainy season. And believe me, that's a precious few months. Most California natives are dangerous, volatile, and too much of a fire-fuel to be having crowded around a home.

At Daylily Hill, we are farmers. We bet you did not know that farmers in California have already had their water supply cut by 30 percent! That means we have already had to cope with what is coming for you, in a very big way.

What have we done to address the challenges facing us?  We have already tested and selected easy to install, uncomplicated, and effective irrigation that can be retrofitted to almost any existing sprinkler system—and it works! It has to work, because we had to set-up to water thousands of plants here at our nursery under the rationing mandated for agriculture last year.  Color combination and contrast
Next we had to address the kinds of plant materials we grow and offer.  We just can't see dry, brush- looking plants as the wave of the future for landscaping.  So we have worked hard to create plant palettes that are incredibly drought tolerant, but still produce beautiful, green, and flowering landscapes year round.  We want you to be living lush in a thirsty land. We want your place to look like you're wasting water!
