Daring Dilemma Daylily Features:
Daring Dilemma daylily is known for its beautiful blooms: creamy pink with a deep plum eyezone and matching plum edge. Its unique coloration makes it a definite stand-out in the garden. Nicely shaped 5″ blooms on scapes around 2′ tall make it the perfect mid-sized daylily. Basically, this beauty looks great everywhere!
A mid season bloomer, we can typically expect to see Daring Dilemma around the middle of June in our East Tennessee garden. If you are to the north of us, you can expect to see it a couple of weeks after we do. If you are to our south, you can look forward to seeing it a bit before us.
Daring Dilemma is a Semi-Evergreen daylily which means it can be grown in gardens across the country.

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 and are the same huge, healthy plants we sell. Just leave the decision up to us and we’ll pick something you’re sure to love!
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.

This is a great variety for the South. I am in zone 9a and some varieties cannot take the hot Summers. This one can and brooms all Summer. When I see a beautiful bloom and go to check the name, it is always Darling Dilemma.

In June of 2011 I moved from Philadelphia, Pa. to Como, Ms. I dug up my entire dalily border and moved it South. This little war horse has not missed a beat. She is planted at the top of a large mounded circular bed with Emperor Dragon, Bela Lugosi and Mauna Loa as a contrast. I’ve had people from Arkansas, Kentucky, Tennessee, Iowa and Texas stop to take pics of the color combo this season. She has been blooming for 3 solid weeks. The plant is for front of the borber. Mannerly well formed clumps, strong scapes and for me a very high bud count. The bloom is true to color, holds well in the sun and of substantative weight and texture. This plant would work well with strong yellows… not reds. It is a knock out with My Dragon and Mr Lugosi. This plant is deserving of several awards… Best Eyed lily and sholud receive an Award of Merit. A 10 PLUS!!! for me!

What a gorgeous, ‘knock your socks off’ bloom! Truly as special as the picture. Would be a ’10’ for sure if it just had more buds. However such a spectacular bloom deserves a front and center spot.
