The bright, rich cranberry red color of ‘Carolina Cranberry’ isn’t easily forgotten! A great mid-sized daylily, it looks fantastic alone or planted among daylilies of other colors. Plant it among blooms of dark purple, orange and lavender and it becomes absolutely stunning!
Saw the first couple of blooms this week after planting last fall. Really like the color. A different shade of red and good form. Finally stopped raining so I could get a decent pic. 7/14/2021
This beauty does not go unnoticed in the garden. Its color is true to the photos but it has a shine that the camera does not pick up that draws your attention to it. I have it planted in front of shasta daisies and it pops. I love the color and plan to move it this fall to a bed closer to our back deck so that we can better enjoy its beauty.
The end of August us upon us, and Carolina Cranberry is still just blooming away – she sure is a beauty! And tall too – my Carolina Cranberry is at least 36″ tall. I’ll probably need to re-think her planting location in the garden, but that’s okay, she’s worth it!
Planted mine in April and it didn’t get a very good start since the spring was long and cold and wet however, it is blooming and is really beautiful. Mine looks just like the photo.
This is my second year with this variety of daylily. It’s an almost unnatural hue of red when planted below a dwarf Bottlebrush Buckeyes puffy white blooms, or beside lily white Easter Lilies. It’s a treat to see this flower first appear in the garden. It reblooms well, and spreads aggresively. It has average sized blooms,4-5 inches, and has been rich on spikes. I have around 25 varieties of daylilies in my gardens, and Carolina Cranberry is probably my favorite.
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.

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!

not at all a pink-red like the photos. It is very much a brown shade of red. It went in the trash.
