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.

I love the color of this one. And I was surprised to find it was a double! Not as big as expected, but I’m hoping the blooms will be bigger next year. Grows well in heat and humidity.

Prester John was a free plant with a daylily order & would not have been one I’d have ordered, BUT! It’s not only sturdy & pretty, it’s also gifting me with Rebloom this year! The first of what looks like seven buds is open today, September 1st, 2011!

A bit more orange than I expected from the website picture. But I love the hose-in-hose double shape. Very charming — especially if you like the “hot” colors.

This Day Lily was sent to me as a bonus last fall and bloomed for the first time this year. I planted it in a 20
