I have many daylilies now, growing them for over 30 years. Alabama Jubilee is one of my all time favorites. Bright and beautiful. My neighbors love it too. First order from Oaks years ago and still amazing and blooming well. Our ridiculous Feb -3 deg. & two months over 100 deg didn’t hurt this power house. Several others died from it. It even repeats for me in Zone 8, Dallas, TX.
Alabama Jubilee is a beautiful, bright, prolific bloomer in my zone 5a garden. Despite droughts the past three summers, it has not only survived, but thrived, displaying its vibrant blooms over a very long period. It’s one of my all-time favorite daylilies!
I planted last Oct. and I had blooms starting May 13th in zone 8b Georgia. Strong, lots of buds, blooms that last all day. Beautiful up close with the ruffles, and far away. Hot orange and big flowers. Vigorous.
While the orange color is exquisite, this variety spots easily with any drop of rain. Unless you’re in a desert or plan to stand over it with an unbrella, try the other orange daylilies available from Oakes. They handle the rain much better. Zone 7A
Although I didn’t get my Alabama Jubilee from Oakes, this variety is such a great performer here in my southern Ohio garden that I’ve had to divide it multiple times to share with friends. Every visitor is drawn to the vibrant bright orange color and sheer number of blooms. It’s got great bud count and just stands out among my many daylilies. I have it planted next to peach and yellow varieties so it really stands out! Highly recommend this one!
I planted Alabama Jubilee three summers ago. It was beautiful the first year, and then the second it was even better, and this year it was absolutely remarkable. Huge beautiful blooms that are so bright it’s like they’re lit by a light bulb, sturdy stems that stood up to a storm that took down enough trees that we had over 30 pick-up loads of branches to haul, and so awesome it felt like I was taking pictures every day because I couldn’t stand not to. I’m going to split this third year clump into three this fall. And did I mention how long it bloomed? First picture this year: June 28. Last picture: August 2.
I was not a big fan of orange daylilies but this one I received as a bonus has changed my mind. It is so bold and bright that I’m going to have to have more. I like that it is a darker orange and is stunning paired with purples like Bela Lugosi or Wayside King Royale. It really stands out and stands up well to the hot Alabama sun. It pops! It is a must have for anyone’s garden. I’m a new orange fan now.
I saw this daylily, (and bought it) at the daylily days at Oakes in 2021. It was so incredibly bright that I had to put my sunglasses on! If you need some sizzling hot color in your garden, this is an excellent choice.
You can request a specific date in the Order Notes box during checkout, and we will ship your plants as close to the time you request as possible.
We ship February — October.
Or we will send at the proper time for planting:

After shipping has started to your area, we will send as soon as possible, normally within one to two weeks.
PLEASE NOTE – We will do our best to ship as quickly as possible, but the plants are growing in the ground, not sitting on a shelf, so it takes some time to get them dug and ready to ship.

It’s pretty simple: 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, dormant varieties won’t work for you; you need to choose evergreen or semi-evergreen varieties.
We normally include bonus plants equal to about 20% of your order. And these aren’t “leftover” plants, or “whatever we’ve got lying around.” These are the same huge, healthy plants we sell. Just leave the decision up to us— we’ll pick something we know you’ll love!
Daylily Stickers!
After the year we’ve all had, we’re trying to wring whatever joy we can find out of every day— even Tax Day*. So we put our thinking caps on and thought, “What is silly and fun and makes everyone happy?”.
That’s when it hit us: stickers! To make your day brighter, we are offering 13 stickers free with every order today through April 19!!!
Stick ’em on your water bottle, your cooler, your laptop (even your wheelbarrow!) or wherever else you could use a bit of cheery color.
*We know that Tax Day has officially been moved to May 17. Since today is traditionally Tax Day, though, we’re going for it.
