Delicate Design is perfectly named. Each blossom is like a watercolor painting. Tall scapes hold many buds. Some flowers appear more yellow while others are more ivory. Adds interest.
Chattanooga, TN. Delicate Design is truly different in it’s presentation, but that is the only thing about it that is delicate. It is a robust, large flower that is simply exquisite! It reaches out with elegance and spirit and is a show stopper with it’s easy six inche flowers. This is just it’s second year. I can hardly wait for next year! It was a bonus with my Spring 2011 order that I would never have picked. I am so glad they picked it for me.
I love this flower! I’d give it a higher # if I could. I have over 150 daylilies, and this is one of my top 10. Amazing since I have paid over $100.00 for some of them.
I love the little gardening hints I pick up in these reviews. I was about to comment on the variability of the red etching on this lovely daylily’s delicate yellow petals and how it seems to be fading into a plain yellow flower, but instead I think I’ll go out and trim back the butterfly bush that’s throwing too much shade on it. This is a smart flower – it let’s you know right away when it’s not happy!
Lovely blossoms, not quite as profuse as I’d wish! I have them planted in a difficult spot in partial sunlight — the markings are relatively light there.
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!

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.
