I’ve had ‘Golden Chimes’ for three years and in all that time it never has achieved the height noted in the description, more like about 18-inches. Also the flowers started out as a yellow but are now golden. That said, I don’t consider these negatives at all. I love the small sized foliage, the wiry scapes and small golden blooms. It’s a beautiful little plant I need to move to the front of the bed where I can appreciate it more. I’ve come to appreciate small flowered daylilies like ‘Golden Chimes’ for their balanced, proportional look in all aspects of the plant.

This is my 2rd year with Golden Chimes from Oakes (bought it 3 years ago in fall). I have it in full sun, but just like last year, it barely bloomed–1 scape and 3 buds. Also, the scape is only about 12″ high (same height as last year). The flowers are delightfully different and I like the deep gold color. The soil is very heavy clay in this location, but Rocket City doesn’t seem to mind and blooms like crazy on 36″ scapes. I will move it to more loamy soil and see what it does next year.

Golden Chimes took its time establishing vigor, and it took me awhile to understand how to use it. With over 200 varieties and 500 plants, Golden Chimes has shown me its unique character in the daylily garden – its like magic! I love it most planted in FRONT of shorter compatible daylilies, as its incredibly thin but strong scapes are nearly invisible, but hold its golden small flowers above the shorter plants, and truly look like butterflies hovering above its garden partners. Right now, I have several planted at the very front of one deep cottage garden bed – directly behind it a bed of – “Twiggy” – a delicate beauty with its small golden orange spidery blooms trimmed with maroon on its edges – dancing in the slightest breeze on its own thin stems – I can’t wait to take my coffee out each early morning to watch this charming duet!!! Try it!

Disappointing. Color looks more yellow in photo, but is actually the gold of stella d’oro, which I don’t happen to like. Maybe next year it’ll be bushier and look better.

This is a beautiful and graceful daylily. I wish breeders would work at developing more varieties like Golden Chimes. My personal opinion is that many mineatures lack proportion between the flowers and the plant size – not so this one.

This is my first year for Golden Chimes but it’s so graceful and petite, it gives a different look than other daylillies. Very pleased with the overall look and performance.

I love this unusual daylily! The dainty flowers on the long scapes look so graceful and lovely in my mixed border surrounded by pink achillea. It has been a very good grower for me as well. I highly recommend it!
