This is one of the few blooming plants I’ve had that folks driving down my street stopped and ask me what it was. When I said it was a day lily named back draft they said that’s a day lily? It’s arresting, and the huge eye is even bigger than in the pictures. This was a very sturdy plant, and kept blooming long after other day lilies had quit.
I live across the street from our Volunteer Fire Dept – so I told them about Back Draft when it started to bloom. This is its first season and it knocked our socks off! Big, healthy blossoms from late June to early August – what fun! Zone 5, southeastern Nebraska
Back Draft is a very showy daylily in the garden. It’s colors are wonderful, and it is aptly named. It isn’t billed as a rebloomer, but it is July 13th today in Waco, Texas, and Back Draft is putting up yet another scape. You can’t go wrong with this one.
One of the most beautiful , stunning orange daylilies you can have. Reminds me of my Wife. Just beautiful. A must have to attract attention from every passerby.
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:
Winter and Early Spring Orders:
We will send at the appropriate time for Spring planting in your area. See the chart below for approximate starting shipping dates by zone.
Late Spring and Summer Orders :
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.
Fall Orders:
We will send as soon as possible, up until it is too late to plant in your area. Orders placed after that time will ship the following spring. See the chart below for last shipping date by zone.

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.

This is an outstanding plant. It blooms, and blooms ..then re-blooms again in the fall. It is a true eye catcher!

Gorgeous daylily – a real stunner. The pictures do not even come close to how beautiful it is in person. Prolific bloomer.
