This is an amazing daylily. I lived in Long Island zone 7 but moved to upstate NY capital region zone 5b this past year. Dug many of my daylilies up and put them in pots. They stayed in the garage over winter. We are in a rental so they stayed in pots all summer and Centerpiece still did amazing! So bright and striking you can’t miss it in the garden. I just love how the bright yellow contrasts with the dark eye zone. It has so many blooms at once it looks like a bouquet. This is a must have!
I bought this last year and I had quite a few blossoms on it . It looks exactly like the photo and it is beautiful. I love the daylilies with eyezones and this one stands out in the garden.I have so many daylilies from Oakes that i have a hard time picking favorites. Your plants are all substanial size and they always bloom the first year. I am looking forward to seeing CENTERPIECE this year. I have a feeling she is going to multiply quickly. A must have.
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 one of my favorite daylilies. It has bloomed well for 2 summers with lots of blooms and substance. The flowers are large, bright and showy.

What is your hardiness zone? Zone 9
One of the brightest Daylilies in my garden. Flawless blooms bring me joy as I sit and admire their beauty. Will be ordering another very soon!
