Making Them

How Our Business Bloomed!

       Ed Kirchhoff founded Daylily World in the mid-1960s, building on his grandfather's legacy as a third-generation nurseryman in Sanford, Florida. He had learned to hybridize gladiolus and other flowering plants in the 1920s.     

      David Kirchhoff (Ed Jr) and his partner, Mort Morss, came to Daylily World, sharing the hobby and fondness for all things daylilies in the early 1970s. Soon, their journey with daylilies began. Sadly, Mort passed away in 2023.

     Maintaining a daylily garden of this size requires hundreds of hours of care. David is thankful for the dedication of  Elias Raymundo Montes. Elias has been taking care of much of the heavy lifting in the garden for the past fourteen years and is an integral part of Daylily World.
