‘Carpenter’s Choice’ is one of our own daylily introductions. We aren’t supposed to be partial, but it’s definitely one of our favorites! This large bloom is a gorgeous clear raspberry-rose blend with green throat and distinct white midribs. Both a beauty as well as a prolific bloomer, it is a delight to see in the mid to late season garden.  Always a crowd favorite in our display garden. Although not registered as a fragrant daylily, this beauty does have a nice, light fragrance as well.

Carpenter’s Choice Daylily Features:

‘Carpenter’s Choice’ is one of our own daylily introductions. As hybridizers, we probably aren’t supposed to be partial, but it’s definitely one of our favorites! This large bloom is a gorgeous clear raspberry-rose blend with green throat and distinct white midribs. Both a beauty as well as a prolific bloomer, it is a delight to see in the mid to late season garden.  Always a crowd favorite in our display garden.

Blooms are a large 6 1/2″ on scapes around 28″ tall in our East Tennessee garden. A beautiful choice for the mid to late season garden, we typically begin seeing the first of these bright blooms in mid June. If you are to our north, you’ll likely see them a bit later. If you live to our south, you’ll see them a couple of weeks before us.

A dormant variety, Carpenter’s Choice is best grown in gardening zones 3-8 as it needs a sustained  cold period in the winter in order to be successful. Although not registered as a fragrant daylily, this beauty does have a nice, light fragrance as well.

We love Carpenter’s Choice when planted by itself en masse but it also looks stunning when planted with gold, bright orange or near white.

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.

    Carpenter’s Choice is on of my favorite dalilies! I love the raspberry color, the greenish/yellowish throat and white midribs really makes this daylily special. I get lots of beautiful blooms. You won’t be disappointed.

    First year big win

    Colleen Paschall (verified owner)

    I planted this daylily in may and had flowers the entirety of July. Huge neon pink flowers. I can’t wait to see it next year.

    Beautiful clean form in its first year of bloom. Even better is it’s high and wide branching which set it multiple blooms each day apart.

    Still Waiting

    Jeff McLean (verified owner)

    I planted Carpenter’s Choice (six healthy and happy bulbs) in the spring, but didn’t see any blooms this year (despite excellent weather). I’ve experienced this with other bulbs from Oakes (e.g., Wild Horses and Chicago Apache), and in each case, the second year has been delightful. So I’m still waiting. But I thought some buyers might want to know that the first year may not be as quick to produce blooms as other varieties from Oakes (others I’ve planted have bloomed very quickly). Overall, however, I must applaud Oakes on the beauty, color, and variety of their daylilies. I have several varieties, all of which have been wonderful in my garden. Just be aware that some take longer to sprout stalks than others.

    I bought very early this year, around March…well, in July I have these smaller buds that opened into such beautiful bright flowers. I can’t wait till next year when the plant is larger. The color is hypnotic, such a pretty hot pink rose with white lines and yellow center. You keep looking at it.

  7. Striking Colors!

    Jennifer Mcerlean (verified owner)

    Love this daylily. I live in Long Island zone 7. I just got it this April 2020 and it bloomed this July 2020. It had 2 scapes and a lot of blooms for its first year. The light purple with the yellow throat and white midribs are so pretty together. It really stands out. I can’t wait for next year!

  8. Stunning showstopper!!!!

    Stefanie Gibboney (verified owner)

    These are the most beautiful pink daylilies I own! They are an amazing hot/deep pink that stand up well to the summer sun. In the first year I had many blooms. They complimented every lily color I have. I can’t wait to buy more of these!! I live right in the middle of zone 7b/8a.

    Carpenter’s Choice is new to my garden and has just started to bloom – it’s so pretty – I love it! I don’t see it mentioned that this is a fragrant daylily – but it is…Carpenter’s Choice has a fragrance reminiscent of Hyperion. A sweet surprise!
