DAYLILLY NURSERY BUSINESS FOR SALE - 21.06.12
Quinton Edwards have been instructed to sell a specialist Daylily business based in Norfolk but which can be relocated anywhere in the country, with sales only via the website and mail order.
Currently based in Norfolk just off the A10, the nursery is considerably larger than it needs to be. The Daylily stock plants are grown outside and are extremely hardy and the business could either be bolted on to an existing nursery business or be run from home using the garden for stock plants and the garage for potting and despatch. They are grown outside, not under polythene or glass and the 400 stock plants are contained within beds which extend to circa 130 sq.m. (1,400 sq.ft.). The plants for sale, 5,000 of them, can be held in an area under half the size of the above. There would then be a need for some area for potting and despatch but this could be a shed in a garden or a garage so the existing business could easily be run from someone’s house and garden. This Daylily business is attractive, capable of substantial expansion and one we believe should be of interest both within and outside the Horticultural industry.

Daylilies transform gardens with easy colour, fragrance and charm all summer, they are virtually indestructible, grow on any soil in sun or part shade and just £3-£5 buys a plant that will give hundreds of blooms every summer. Many of the superb and special modern varieties are award winners from Australia and America and they are simply not available anywhere else in the U.K. Unlike true Lilies a Daylily forms a perennial clump and produces many flower stems, each with up 30 to large lavish blooms. Daylilies really do grow anywhere that they can get some sun and are totally frost, wet and drought hardy. Most of the varieties have near-evergreen foliage and they are non-toxic to people and pets.

The business includes the website, the catalogue, the customer lists and stock at valuation and we are instructed to seek offers in the region of £45,000 for the trading potential of the business to include the name, website, database, plus stock at valuation.
