New Tazewell, TN — I love this one. The color is just like the one pictured here. It's very dark and really stands out. I love this one.
-
Valparaiso, IN — I have 34 different plants from Oakes Daylillies and this is a top favorite. Beautiful color draws you to it immediately.
-
Columbus, OH — What a great plant! I've had it in for about 10 years, divided it a couple of times with no hard feelings! The blooms are just like the photo, slightly dusty purple petals with dark purple watermark. One star off for fading a bit in hot afternoons. Overall a great performer.

Baltimore, MD — Looks just like the picture down to the size of the bloom. Two years ago I moved it from a very sunny spot to a stightly shady one because the blooms faded by afternoon. Now it is magnificent all day. The flowers have good substance and the scapes are sturdy and loaded. I don't rate much of anything as best but this oldtimer diserves it.
Comment on comments in general: Why would anyone try to evaluate any plant but an annual that had not been growing in place for less than 2 years?
If I have a plant that is failing, I check the above ground parts for any problems and then dig it up and have a good look at the roots and the soil in which it was planted. Even if I hated the plant that was dying I would take these steps before I put anything else in its place. -
Goodlettsville, TN — The first year we had this daylily in our garden I was so sorry I had given space to it, as the blooms were few and dull in appearance. After two seasons, it was spectacular! When you see a mature Little Grapette with 10-12 dazzling purple blooms at one time, you will become a fan also. Have divided it a couple times and it springs right back. Such a rewarding plant.
-
Hood, VA — An unusual daylily failure for me. The flowers were pretty for a year or two, but the plants were wimpy and after a few years it just disappeared.
-
Greenup, KY — WOW! Whats that daylily called a friend said to me while walking around in the yard.That's the prettiest dark purple flower i've ever seen.
-
Trussville, AL — The color of Little Grapette is so striking. I've had it for 2 seasons and am very pleased with its performance.
