Happy Returns Daylily Features:

‘Happy Returns’ is one summer guest you’ll be happy to see again and again! Small cheery yellow blooms light up the garden. Starts blooming very early in the season and, as an excellent rebloomer, reappears off and on throughout the summer.  A light fragrance makes this beauty even more special.

Small blooms are 3 1/8″ and clock in at around 18″ tall in our East Tennessee garden. Perfect for the front of the border or in a container—anywhere you want some cheery color. Excellent rebloom means these clear yellow blooms will be seen again and again throughout the summer.

Happy Returns is an extra early bloomer. For us here in zone 7, that means we can typically start to see these happy yellow blooms around the end of May or first of June depending on the weather and temperature. ( A warmer spring means earlier blooms!) Those of you to our north will see them a bit later than we do. Those of you who live just south of us will see them a couple of weeks ahead of us.

A dormant variety, Happy Returns performs best in planting zones that get a sustained cold period during the winter.

HOW TO GROW DAYLILIES: Daylilies are very easy-to-grow. They like a lot of sun and they like a lot of water. For more information on how to care for daylilies, click here.
WHAT DAYLILIES CAN I GROW: Most of you can grow any of the daylilies we sell. If you live in an area with a sustained cold period like we do in East Tennessee, you can grow all the varieties. However, If you live in an area that doesn’t get freezing weather in the winter (like zones 9 and 10), dormant varieties won’t work for you; you’ll need to choose evergreen or semi-evergreen varieties.

BIG PLANTS! When it comes to daylily plants, bigger is better! All of the plants we ship will be three fans or larger — two or three times (or more) what you might receive from other companies. Larger plants get established faster and bloom more quickly!

FARM-FRESH TO YOU! All of your plants will be freshly dug when you order. The leaves are trimmed and the plants are washed and air-dried. Your daylilies will be out of the ground less than 48 hours before they’re headed your way.

BONUS DAYLILIES: We send free daylilies (we call them “bonus” daylilies) with every order. These daylilies are equal to about 20% of your order, you get to choose what you’d like at checkout.

ABOUT US: Oakes Daylilies is a family-owned daylily farm that’s been in business for three generations. Our daylilies grow in home gardens, city parks and botanical gardens across the nation– including Hawaii and Canada. We are known in the industry as Daylily Experts and grow over 1000 varieties of daylilies on nearly 70 acres in East Tennessee. But over 50 years ago, we started just like you—with one daylily in a home garden.

    It is all of the description. The only negative is it doesn’t hold up well to rain which ruins the petals by making them thin. Even does well in semi shade.

    This is my best bloomer! I have about 30 blooms today in one small area. The only reason I didn’t give it a 10 is that I like showier flowers. I noticed that someone said they open in the evening and fade the next morning. Mine open in the evening and keep blooming all the next day. So every evening I have two days’ blooms!

    What a lovely little plant with delicate light yellow blooms. Interestingly, it starts blooming very late in the day – like 5 pm, is fully bloomed by dark, and the bloom is fading by morning. Maybe, at least here in northern California, it could be called a night lily! Planted it Oct 2005. So far, its not a prolific bloomer, but maybe that’s because it’s a dormant type.

    Nice buttery yellow and cute blooms. It finished a bit early for me. Lots of blooms on scape.

    Very heavy bloomer, get’s lots of compliments from visitors . Color is very pleasing not harsh and it performs well in heavy clay soil.
