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.

Thank you for bringing Chance Encounter back. I just can’t get enough of this beauty! I originally bought her in 2020 and was instantly pleased. She started blooming in my North Texas garden this year in mid-May and she still has a couple of blooms left to go in mid-July. She has never stopped blooming!! What an amazing and beautiful daylily. Glossy green leaves with gorgeous raspberry and yellow flowers. I’m addicted!!

This daylily, Chance Encounter, was featured in today’s email blast. The description block says “Evergreen,” yet the breakout graphic below the description says the foliage type is “Dormant.” I’d like to know which it is, because that is one gorgeous daylily. One way or another (San Antonio, Texas, or Strafford, Missouri), someone in my family needs to have it.

Oh my goodness! Encounter this daylily in your very own garden not by chance! She’s a vibrant, but not overwhelming, shade of rose pink and the contrast against the yellow throat is a sight to behold. She’s my favorite daylily and I have quite the collection. During our growing season, I marvel at other blooms but my true pleasure comes the day that first bud of Chance Encounter bursts open. Sometimes she teases and the first bud opens only part way, but that is likely the fault of our summers in Wisconsin (some days can be quite cool) rather that a fault of the plant. Chance Encounter should never be by chance. Don’t just put this one on your wish list – get it now and enjoy a delight for your eyes!
