‘Apricot Sparkles’ daylily may have “apricot” in its name, this beauty looks more like homemade peach ice cream! One of the earliest daylilies to bloom, ‘Apricot Sparkles’ is also one of the best reblooming varieties—so you can enjoy its luscious color all season long!
4″ blooms make a gorgeous impression on scapes 18″ tall in our East Tennessee garden. An extra-early season bloomer, we can typically expect to see these lovely blooms late May to early June (depending on the weather) in our East Tennessee garden. Thanks to outstanding rebloom, however, we can look forward to seeing it off and on throughout the season. Those to our north will see it a few weeks later than we do. Those to our south typically see it a few weeks before us. Apricot Sparkles is a Dormant daylily which means it is a good fit for gardens that get a sustained cold period in the winter.
This beauty looks lovely with yellow or gold daylilies but we find it looks especially striking with lavender or dark purple.
Apricot Sparkles is one of five daylilies in our Rebloom collection. If you like reblooming daylilies, you’ll love this collection!

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.

Apricot Sparkles has done well during its first season here in my Zone 6 flower bed in Breinigsville PA. Planted in April 2022 in cold damp soil it has produced flowers starting in late June and rebloomed in August. A bit short maybe 14”, but I think will be taller in year 2.

This one blooms early in our New England garden. The color is so pretty and it has many buds.

Planted in fall 2019 zone 5 Milwaukee. 2020-31 scapes and tons of blooms. Color is as pictured. Excellent rebloom. Definitely diamond dusted. You need this one!

I see a lot of negative reviews for this daylily and that is sad to me. For me in Virginia this daylily is a showstopper. It opens in the morning as a golden with ever so slight peach tone. By afternoon it comes into it’s namesake, a golden apricot with lots of diamond dusting in full sun, wow! And by evening, a gorgeous creamy peach after a day of broiling sun. My recommendation is to plant it in full sun for best coloring. Oh, and it blooms good as Stella D’Oro haha. I also love the ruffling on the petals. This daylily also has another color it can look, peaches and cream after a morning rain!

I planted this variety in Houston where the soil was sandy and i had the effects as described. Outstanding display, dusting, etc. I would rate it 5. But I planted it in Atlanta with a heavy clay soil and it failed.in all descriptions. In fact it died. Rated it 2. So maybe soil plays a big role in this one.

What is your hardiness zone? Zone 6
I’m a bit underwhelmed with this one. I have much splashier ones from Oakes for less money. I’m in Zone 6a in SW PA and it started blooming a bit its second season and did get a little rebloom. This season, it has been blooming for about a month which is great, and the color is a nice creamy apricot, the foliage fine, but not a standout, even though I have it by itself in a wall corner. Definitely needs to be in the foreground , by itself or in a group to get noticed. I keep looking for dusting, too, but don’t see it. A visually pleasant posey, but not one to stop me in my tracks.

Not my favorite. I like color but it’s been a let down as far as blooming goes. I’ve had it two year. Maybe this year will be better

I am really let down with this daylily. I got it last year. All the other preformed fantastically. The foliage on this plant looks just like wild green onions. I had a total of 2 flowers. I saw no diamond dusting and the blooms were really tiny. It is living just fine. I hope this year brings a lot of improvement. I will definitely reevaluate it this summer. I just wonder where these great reviews come from and if I did something wrong.

I wish I could give this daylily a glowing review, like the other reviews here, but unlike all my other daylilies from Oakes, this one is most disappointing. This is its third year in my garden and it has just put up a few spindly bloom stalks with very few buds. Apricot Sparkles hides what blooms she has down in the foliage. Its companion daylilies are vigorous, performing as expected.

Apricot Sparkles is always in bloom, it seems. I think it just reblooms for me so often that I forget the time that it isn’t in bloom. I love going out in early morning and seeing it sparkling in the sun from the diamond dust. I’d recommend it to anyone who loves prolific daylilies(is there anyone who doesn’t) in a great apricot color.

This is an amazingly reliable rebloomer! I can count on it to produce at least 3 bloom cycles. For zone 6 thats a lot of blooming. The 9 rating is due to the small flowers (I personally prefer larger blooms) but other than that it is very pretty

This prolific everbloomer is a true gem. Apricot Sparkles blooms in our Zone 5b/6a garden in early to mid June and keeps blooming through October. The flowers are a lovely soft apricot color that works well with most other flower colors. The foliage is also terrific: narrow, dark green, arching and in proportion to the blooms. Our plants have been in the garden for three summers now and each clump throws up more than a dozen scapes at a time with ten or more buds per scape. This happens all summer! For best results, we have found we need to fertilize regularly and remove the spent scapes. That is not too much work for the beautiful results.
