We are daylily growers, hybridizers, enthusiasts who live and work in Southeast Texas. 

The Gulf Coast Daylily Society of Southeast Texas is an official club of the American Hemerocallis Society, Region 6.  We serve an area of Southeast Texas bordered on the east by Louisiana and on the west by Houston.  We reach down to the Gulf of Mexico on our southern border and up into deep east Texas, to our north. 

Some of the communities in Texas in which our members grow daylilies are:   Beaumont, Bridge City, Buna, Cleveland,  Groves, Livingston, Lumberton, Magnolia, Magnolia Springs, Mauriceville, Nacogdoches, Nederland, Orange, Pasadena, Port Neches, Port Arthur, Sour Lake, Spring, The Woodlands, Vidor, Village Mills, and Winnie. 

Some of our hometowns in Louisiana include: Abbeville (LA), DeRidder (LA), Leesville (LA) and Sulfur (LA),

Our purpose is to promote and encourage the development and improvement of daylilies and to increase public interest in them.  We promote the use of daylilies as a means of home and civic beautification.

Take our "Favorite Daylily" WEBSITE POLL.  You can also see the results.

In our home gardens, we grow a large number of beautiful daylily plants with a wide variety of flower shapes and colors and patterns.  We grow common varieties and old favorites and many of the newest cultivars. 

Some of us even create hybrids -- brand new daylily plants and flowers.  One of us specializes in miniature doubles and another in polytepals.  Several have registered daylilies and sell daylilies.

We are always learning!  Come join us!!!
