Greenwood, IN –
Probably the most drop dead gorgeous daylily I have seen from Oakes, and i have been ordering plants from this company, dozens of varieties, for at least ten years now. If you want a showy, vibrant, attention-getting daylily, this is the one. Colors are true to the picture and the flowers are big, bright and bold, with the plants blooming well first year within a few weeks of spring planting. I just ordered some more today after looking at the ones I have outside my window.

This is a wonderful daylily. I have had 150 or so daylilies over the pas 15 years, some good and some not so good. This is one of the winners here in cold N Idaho. It knows how to get it’s head up high and bloom well. It stands out in the garden and grows well with lots of buds.

Huge bud count, and so, lasts forever in the garden. Every flower is perfect, too. Only two years in the ground, and needs to be divided. Lots to share!

BRANDON, VT –
WOW ! I purchased this daylily last year and could not wait to see it in blossom this year. Fooled Me is a knock out in the garden. You do not have to look for it because it demands attention and I have 110 varieties of Oakes Daylilies. The flowers are large and the red stands out against the yellow. Beautiful ! Absolutely beautiful. It was a bit pricey but worth every cent.

This is the second bloom season for this lily in my garden. The blooms are large and scream for attention. It is a beautiful lily and a real show-stopper.

Fooled Me is blooming for the first time since I planted it late last fall. The color is intense and the flower very large and showy. There are many buds that will be opening soon. I couldn’t be more pleased with Fooled Me.
