Everyone loves ‘Real Wind’ daylily! It’s no wonder: There is something special about a daylily that looks like creamy orange sherbet with a raspberry sauce eye. Big blooms are 6 1/2″ and stand on scapes around 27″ tall in our East Tennessee garden. Very striking and popular in the garden.

Real Wind Daylily Features:

Talk about a beauty! Everyone loves this daylily and it’s no wonder: There is something special about a daylily that looks like creamy orange sherbet with a raspberry sauce eye. Big blooms are 6 1/2″ and stand on scapes around 27″ tall in our East Tennessee garden. Very striking and popular in the garden.

A mid to late season bloomer, this stunner is an beautiful choice to add to the garden. We typically begin to see its first blooms around mid June in our zone 7 garden. If you are to our north, you can expect to see it a bit later than we do. If you are to our south, you will see it a couple of weeks before us.

Real Wind is a dormant daylily. That means it is not a good choice for those who live in planting zones 9-11, as it requires a sustained cold period in the winter in order to grow successfully.

This unusually colored bloom is striking on its own but looks especially lovely when paired with gold, coral, or lavender daylilies.

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.

    Real Wind is always healthy, dependable and multiplies. Plus, it looks like a dreamsicle. Blooms for a month. Zone 5 (Illinois) plus it’s colder at my house because of winter winds and not always snow covered. A beautiful flower that looks especially good with cream, orange and purple.

  3. Real Beauty

    Mattie Mott (verified owner)

    I ordered this daylily in very very early spring. Received this in May, and saw my first bloom today! As beautiful as I hoped it would be, such a sweet, creamy color combination that reminds me of sherbet! Not overly showing, but subtle loveliness that is very refreshing.

  4. Real Wind is a keeper.

    Donna Kudlicki

    I asked for my bonus plant to be a fragrant one and was sent Real Wind. I don’t know why but I didn’t especially care for it. It grew well and multiplied and I divided it and then moved it into two different areas of my yard. The change did the trick for me, and now I admire it’s beauty and fragrance in both new spots!

  5. Stunning!

    Elyce (Peterson) Cripps (verified owner)

    ‘Real Wind’ is really exceptional! The foliage is upright and vigorous and the plant just blooms and blooms! I have mine planted next to a lavender perennial phlox and WOW. Just wow. The eye is super unique and the color of this lily is what I would consider a salmon. It’s one of my favorites and will continue to be.

  6. Don't tell

    DalriadaOne

    Shhhh….Dont tell Oakes what a beautiful daylily this is and the price is surely a mistake! It has large pastel blooms but is not drab or washed out looking. It bloomed longer than any of my others in zone 7.. I planted some orange tiger lilies behind it. Just lovely!! A must have for your garden.

  7. Don't tell

    Janice

  8. Pastel but not pale

    Peggy Matson (verified owner)

    Its blooms are pastel but not pale and subtle yet eye-catching. A beautiful peach (just like its photos) it would look great with darker colors. It’s blooming now and I love it!

  9. Melon color with pattern

    Darlene Otwaska

    This is one of the most complimentary melon color daylily. It blends so well with other colors in my garden such as burgundy or purple. Love the pattern in the bloom. I can’t believe the price…a real bargain!

  10. Soft and understated

    Dave Cross

    What is your hardiness zone? Zone 4

    I have over 100 daylilies in my gardens and this is one of my favorites. It is so soft and understated until you get up close and then the real beauty of the bloom becomes apparent. I love this day lily!!

    I planted Real Wind last fall and I got my first bloom this morning. It is absolutely gorgeous, the color is exactly like the picture. One other poster said it looks like orange sherbet and I agree – with a little raspberry sherbet in the center! I’m definitely adding this daylily to my favorite list..

    Beautiful, orange sherbet-colored flowers! Not quite as bold as in the photograph, but definitely one of my favorite daylilies. Blooms profusely – – even the first year!

    Because I like contrasting eyezones, I ordered this one, even though the colors are not as bold as I usually like. However, when it bloomed, it showed its true beauty and is a winner. Had a lot of blooms and became a large plant in just one year. Can’t go wrong with this one.

    I’ve had Real Wind for several years. I used to not care all that much for it, until last summer. Not only did it have many blooms, but most of the blooms had 8 or more petals. Now it’s one of my favorites.

    The photo doesn’t really show how beautiful this daylily is. It is an orange sherbert color with a rose eye. Very classy! This was a bonus last year from Oakes. It was probably a variety I would not have ordered but now that I own it I can’t live without it. Thanks Oakes! I definetly recommend it!

    I consider this a classic daylily. It performs well over a large geographic area, branches extremely well, and has excellent color. I will always have room for this one in my garden.
