Blooms are 5 1/2″ on scapes 22″ tall in our East Tennessee garden. An Early Season bloomer, we typically see the first of these gorgeous blooms around the first of June. If you are to our north, you’ll see them a few weeks after we do. If you live to our south, you’ll likely see them a bit before us. Fantastic rebloom means the lovely purple blooms of Always Afternoon will be seen off and on throughout the season.
A Semi-Evergreen daylily means that everyone can grow this beauty!
We love to see Always Afternoon paired with hot pink, orange, or bright yellow or gold daylilies. When paired with darker purple daylilies it absolutely pops!!

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.
