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.

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.

Definitely not a plant for Mobile, Alabama. I planted 20 or more and lost all of them over a 2-year period. Nice lemon color, but the leaves lose their attractiveness quickly. As I said, not a keeper. I’ve had phenomenal success, however, with the white evergreen, Joan Senior, which appears to no longer be available from Oakes Daylilies.

This is our first year with Forsyth Lemon Drop, so I can’t comment on the rebloom nor increase qualities. However, can state that the blooms are many and bright. So far, a really great daylily.

Grand Junction, TN –
During last summer’s record-breaking drought and heat this daylily stayed in bloom from late April through October. It was amazing, particularly considering I had pretty much given up on the garden altogether! It is a very pretty lemon yellow and has a wonderful scent. If you want a daylily that really blooms all summer, you can’t go wrong with this one.

I received my large, healthy plants on Oct. 7th and planted them the next day. Imagine my surprise when exactly one week later, several of them have bud stalks showing. They literally hit the ground blooming! If they stand up to our summer heat, this one will be a keeper.

Catonsville, MD –
I have grown Forsyth Lemon Drop for 7 years. I consider it decidedly superior to Stella D’Oro. Better color-true lemon yellow but most inportantly the best rebloomer. It starts blooming in early May and is still going strong in October. Very prolific bloomer from May to early July. Then after a short rest for new scapes(also often longer than 24
