Carolina Daylilies is a family-run display garden in Lexington, South Carolina, owned and operated by hybridizer Tom Bruce. The garden is dedicated to daylilies and features an extensive collection of potted daylilies, Japanese Iris, Siberian Iris and more than 65 Hosta varieties. All plants are sold only in the garden during open dates in 3-gallon pots, with Tom Bruce Introductions tagged in gold for easy identification.
Owner and Hybridizer Background
Tom Bruce is an accomplished daylily and iris hybridizer whose very first introduction, ‘Sunny Attitude’, earned the Jeffcoat Hybridizer Award in 2021. He has since registered more than 63 of his own daylily cultivars. In 2024 he was elected as a Director of the national Japanese Iris Society, and the garden was designated an official Japanese Iris Display Garden, with the honor of hosting the society’s national event in 2028.
Collection Scale and Display Garden Status
The garden holds more than 1,200 potted daylilies alongside bearded, Japanese and Siberian Iris, plus a range of miniature to giant Hostas and deer-resistant companion plants. All plants are 12 dollars in a 3-gallon pot, Hosta hanging baskets are 15 dollars, and the garden accepts credit cards, cash and checks and pays all sales tax. There is no mail-order option; visitors select and carry plants home during open dates in April through early June.
Visiting Experience and Open Dates
Group tours and field trips are available by appointment for clubs, schools, senior groups and green-industry professionals. The grounds feature a paved driveway, accessible pathways, ample bus parking and on-site restrooms. The garden’s education section provides care guides for daylilies, hostas, Japanese Iris and Siberian Iris—covering light, soil pH, fertilization timing, division cycles and deer-resistant planting—alongside flower terminology and curated resource links.
Care Guides and Society Service
Carolina Daylilies is located in Lexington, South Carolina, and welcomes visitors by appointment and during posted open dates from 8:00 am to 3:00 pm. The garden combines retail sales of Tom Bruce Introductions with a working display garden that supports the national Japanese Iris Society’s future showcase. The site is best reached by entering the alternate Lexington address into GPS to avoid the driveway misdirect common in the area.
