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.

I’m going to go ahead and say that I’m not crazy about spider type daylilies. And to be honest I’m not sure what convinced me to buy Nutmeg Elf – except that I was aiming for this colorway. The first year I had this planted it did well I just wasn’t sure I liked it. But I find it’s grown on me as time has gone on. This daylily has a long bloom period in my yard and seems to do well even in drier conditions. Despite the small flower size the color and length of display makes this a noticeable plant.

I planted three of these this spring. They all have been blooming like crazy ever since. Nothing bothers them-they bloomed when it was hot and dry, they’re blooming now that it’s hot and rainy. The color is a lovely pale orange, and sometimes the tips of the petals have white on them. They look like little stars and are just a very cheery flower in my garden.
