Dan Hansen learned daylilies at his Mother’s feet. Ra, his Mom, was in daylilies for a long time, and had a thriving and successful career. Dan began hybridizing later, but continue to apply the lessons taught by his Mom. He lives and grows in Geneva, Florida. These are some of Dan’s ‘musts’ in hybridizing:
Grow daylilies in the ground, the old-fashioned way.

1. Let nature sort out the winners and losers: use no shade cloth, no spraying, no pots, and no high-end fertilizers, so when the customer gets their flowers they will perform as well as they do in Dan’s garden.
2. Select flowers based not just on appearance, but as to whether they thrive without pampering and constant care. Plant habit is extremely important. In Florida’s brutal sun, selected seedlings have to pass ALL the tests to be introduced by Ladybug Gardens.

​Above is a photograph of Dan (tall, wearing a hat and a yellow shirt) in the garden with daylily enthusiasts. He welcomes visitors during bloom season and ships all year.
