El Desperado is a late season daylily—such a gorgeous way to extend daylily season! If you live to our north, you’ll see it a few weeks after we do. If you live to our south, you’ll get to see it a bit before us. Excellent branching and bud count equals many blooms per scape which means lots of blooms, blooms, blooms!
As a dormant daylily, El Desperado is best suited for those who live in areas that receive a sustained winter cold period like those in zones 3-8.

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.

Planted for first time in 2020. I never bloomed once. Bush is healthy and attractive foliage. First blooms are getting ready to open in May of second year. We will see.
