I bought this daylily in 2017, it FINALLY bloomed this year, 2019. I was shocked! It is the most amazing flower I could have ever imagined. I am showing it’s picture to everyone who stands still long enough! You won’t be sorry with this one!

Big Kiss Daylily

Although I cringed at the price and shipping total, once Big Kiss bloomed I just had to order another- worth every penny!

It’s a tall one and so perfect for layering my garden. The blooms are so lush!

We love Big Kiss. Yes, it is expensive, but it is the most amazingly beautiful day lily — and it blooms for us every summer throughout July. Like clouds or cotton candy, it is a magical flower. Highly recommended!

I can’t believe this only has 5 star reviews from others. I planted this 4 summers ago, and it still never produces more than 1 stem with maybe 3 blooms. It’s in a prime spot in my yard. The Dewy Sweets planted at the same time next to Big Kiss, had over 80 blooms per plant this year. Big Kiss wasn’t worth the price tag at all.

A spectacular double daylily!! One of the finest and beautiful that I own. A must for any gardener who loves doubles and a breathtaking addition to your collection.

We are really enjoying this big “in your face” bloom. In its second year in our garden, it has blooms at 48″. We will be moving it in the fall since it seems to want to be much taller than the predicted 28″ here and my original placement is not going to work well. I had Big Kiss on my wish list but finally gave in and am so glad I did. If you love peach and doubles, you can’t go wrong with this one.

Worth every cent. A big fluff-ball of light apricot cotton candy with a darker center. I am ordering another “Big Kiss” and another “Infinity” and placing them together…the combo should be spectacular. I had a nice performance the first year from the largest portion I planted (Oakes sends such large clumps that I always split them…such a cost saver!).

Big Kiss is a consistantly reliable double. It is a wonderful color contrast with the peachy self and pink center. But its real claim to fame is its ability to increase. Mine is huge this spring and will need to be divided AGAIN!

A beautiful double that belongs in every North Carolina Garden. Just wish I could afford one!

Consider this one investment gardening — well worth the price for its fabulous blooms alone, not to mention the fact that it multiplies well. Recommend planting this and other special daylilies in tall pots for a better vantage point.

Oh my this one is my new favorite so far. It blooms continually and I just planted it!! It blooms consistantly double too, and is just so lovely to look at. It really catches your eye from across the yard. It’s a keeper! And the color’s are so beautiful, with the pale pink and the darker eye, outstanding!!
