If you found our site you are probably curious  about the club and our favorite plant, the daylily. 

The Bay Area Daylily Society is dedicated to bringing together those interested in developing the beauty and fostering the growth of daylilies in the Tampa Bay area. The best way we can do this is to share our knowledge and love for daylilies with you.

The Bay Area Daylily Society is recognized by the American Hemerocallis Society (AHS) and is a member of AHS region 12. Each year, the Bay Area Daylily Society hosts the first scheduled AHS accredited daylily flower show and club plant sale in the United States. Local growers, nationally recognized hybridizers and club members display flowers from their gardens at this show. If you love daylilies, you won¹t want to miss this annual event. Visit the EVENTS section of this site to learn more about the annual show.

The Bay Area Daylily Society hosts monthly meetings from September through May. We are an active club and our monthly meetings take us to private and public garden attractions including the front lawn of the Gulf Coast Museum of Art and at the USF Botanical Gardens. Visit the EVENTS section of this site for our meeting schedule and locations.

Need to know the best way to care for your daylilies here in the Tampa Bay area? Need to know what to look for when buying daylilies for your Tampa Bay garden? If so, then visit the GROWING section of the site to learn about local cultural practices.
