3 1/2″ bloom, 19″ tall, Early-Mid Season + rebloom, Semi-Evergreen
Ruffled, diamond-dusted and lightly fragrant, masses of near white blooms with a a pink blush appear on graceful scapes for a beautiful effect in the landscape. A 1998 All-American Daylily Selection.
I have bought two batches of this fine little lady, and will buy another bunch during Free Shipping this fall. I live in harsh and unpredictable Kansas. These guys bloomed so fast [spring planting] that I was tempted to cut off the blooms just to save them the energy. But of course…I didn’t. Beautiful flowers on healthy plants. They can take a licking and keep on blooming.
This is the sweetest little daylily ever! The color is so delicate, and although the blooms are smaller, there are so many sparkly little blooms that it really stands out!
I purchased my first lullaby baby to commemorate the birth of my first granddaughter! The small pale pink blossoms are abundant which extends the bloom time in my zone 4 Wisconsin garden. Now I give this variety as gifts to my friends who have a new baby or become grandparents. No better way to get them started on their love for daylilies.
This daylily is one of my favorites! The color is so soft and subtle and looks beautiful in my garden. I have several daylilies from Oakes and they are all gorgeous! I live in Colorado, zone 5b. I get compliments on my daylilies because they’re all different from what you find in the stores. Simply stunning! I am a repeat customer and expecting my next order this weekend–can’t wait to get them in the ground!
I never knew how much I would love this one and I’m SO glad I ordered it 4 years ago when I did. I’ve had as many as 15 blooms at one time and the scapes are often over 3 ft tall. The blooms are consistently well formed and absolutely gorgeous, sometimes almost white looking and other times more peach/pink. I absolutely love these blooms and even though I have tended to go for more doubles or larger singles, this is one that thrills me! It blooms long and large!!
This daylily puts up so many blooms at one time. Then it comes back later and does it again. Not many daylilies do that in this hot and humid weather in North Florida.
I put this daylily in the ground last year after blooming season was was over. This year it has been one of the best bloomers in my garden. I am obsessed with this daylily and will order more. It has the sweetest blooms, just perfect and white with a hint of blush. Love love love this one.
One of the earliest to bloom in my garden, prolific lovely pale peachy pink blooms and lightly fragrant. I was surprised to see it classified as reblooming because I do not get any rebloom here in Northern Illinois.
I ordered this small gem last summer. however because of our DERECHEO here in Iowa and several other miss – steps I was unable to get them planted and tho I was taking care of them, by the time I planted them 0nly 1 survived!
I am watching and waiting for it to come up this spring, I may need to order another 1 or 2.
I have a lot of your day lillies and they are all beautiful.
I am always pleasantly surprised by the extra lillies you tuck in!!
This is my second year for this plant and I have it grouped with other pastel—like daylilies. This year, Lullaby Baby bloomed profusely and, though a smaller bloom than most of my other flowers, it presented a nice soft color to the garden. I had some rebloom this year and hope to have more in future seasons.
This adorable Daylily was one of my freebies so I was extremely happy with how cute it is. I have since split it up so I can see it different places in the garden. It’s so ruffled friends are always surprised when I tell them it’s a Daylily. It’s light color blends with everything…just barely blushing.
Such a beauty wherever it is planted in sun or shade. Right now it is mostly shade and still sends up beautiful (to see and to smell) flower stalks. I have it planted in front of hostas and it is well deserving of its special spot. Even though it is a light color it is an eye catcher. zone 3 Wisconsin
I live in Maryland and this is the second summer for this daylily in my yard. It started blooming June 14 and now, on July 27 it still has a few blooms to go. Healthy and solid clumps, although quite a bit taller than advertised. One thing I like is the blooms are still beautiful in the evening when we are out on the patio.
Sweet blushing baby, touched by fairy dust. I adore this special daylily. One of the very first I bought for my, now, over one-hundred varieties. I love the way the sun brings out the sparkle and glow of this beauty. One of my very favorites in my collection.
I’ve had these in my yard for 5 years, and they’ve grown like crazy every year. They’ve filled out to form nice large clumps. They are supposed to be a shorter daylily, but mine are more like 2-3 feet tall! And they bloom for so long! This year they started blooming in the first week of July and were still putting out flowers in August.
This daylily just glows with its delicate light pink blooms, drawing the eye into the garden. Set against the bolder colors of Frankly Scarlets, Wayside Royale, and Puple d’Oro, it holds its own. Though planted just last year and it’s already given a ton of blooms.
WOW, wow, and wow...so beautiful and strong........

My sister gave me a starter piece and when I saw that first little bloom I was in love. No, it’s not a showy color and I’ll admit it’s not one I would have bought. But, when you see it in person….I don’t know…it’s just beautiful and perfect….I just want to keep staring at it. I then bought two more plants so I could have three in front of my Bella Lagosi’s (deep purple with green throat). They bloom earlier but are still blooming when my Bella’s start.
I get few blooms each year. It is in a mixed planting with Siloam Double Classic, which performs well and even rebloomed for me this year, so I know it is not a location or nutritional deficiency.
Lullaby Baby is a winner in every aspect. The delicate color is so beautifully soothing but don’t be fooled – this plant is tough – it survives our Wisconsin winters every year and just gets better and better. I’ve had the pleasure of Lullaby Baby in our garden for over five years and have divided it into several plants which have then thrived and provided more and more pleasure. This Baby matures into lovely plants just like the photos. You can’t possibly have a garden without it!!
I bought this as well as 4 other semi evergreen and dormant daylily varieties last fall. I planted them all in the same day in late september. All except the lullaby babies bloomed thefollowing summer. I will wait another year and see what happens. For now I am giving this only one star because I am comparing to the others that I am very pleased with. Will update next year if thing change.
This is starting my second year with Lullaby Baby and the first year for it to bloom. It is growing next to ‘Shishedo’ and both have just started to bloom at the same time. Oh my, how pretty these two are together. I could seem them intermingled, the pale pink of Lullaby Baby compliments the pink of ‘Shishedo’ so well. In my garden, both plants have scapes and fans close to the same size with this one’s flowers slightly smaller. Both have thick, strong scapes with lots of buds. I plan to expand the number of this one and invest in some more near whites!
My favorite daylily of all in my garden and always the earliest. Lullaby Baby is in full bloom the first week in March here in the Tampa Bay area. My blooms are 4 to 5 inches wide and a beautiful pale peach color. And, best of all, I can expect a vigorous rebloom.
What a beautiful day-lily this is. The color is so pure and creamy. Lots and lots of blooms the first year. This was sent to me as my bonus plant and I am so glad it was. I love pastel colors and this is definitely a nice one. And it also has a nice light fragrance. What more could you ask for?
A perfect little darling!!! Always loaded with tons of blooms, perfect ruffled shape with wondrous sparkle and shine!!! Always opens up perfectly, and here they are a pale yummy cream! I have had 2 of these for over 6 years and they are perfect each and every year, getting more and more flowers and it is just perfect in every way!! And even though the flowers are smallish, they are easy to deadhead unlike other smaller ones I have had.
Even in part shade, even up north here in Massachusetts, they are loaded with buds and blooming very big and lush. They are not “near white”, they are a creamy ,medium buff, great for a little tonal variation in a “white garden”.
Very cute! This was my bonus plant last year, and is blooming very nicely in ’09. PERFECT flower form! The first couple blooms were more cream, but now definitely a blush peach/pink over cream. Very pretty. Most impressed with how each flower has this perfect form, slightly ruffled, open wide, but not too much so you don’t see each petal. And they hold this form throughout the day. Also, it does sparkle in the sun! Enjoy!
This was slow to establish and is prone to petal damage which affects the coloring. When it is doing well, it is a soft sweet pink/lavender with lots of yellow eye.
The very first daylilies to bloom in my garden each year – right at the end of spring. And it just keeps getting better as summer takes over. Every year it impresses me with more and more blooms! I received this daylily free at Oakes daylily festival, but it has become one of my all time favorites.
Planted in mid-June last year, we are enjoying the first bloom now. Beautiful plants, lots of flowers! My only negative comment is that the color is more peach than pink in our soil – possibly due to the GA red clay?? It’s a pretty color, just not what I expected.
I planted this daylily in mid-April and it burst profusely into bloom the first week of June. The blossoms are pale salmon-pink, fragrant and sparkle beautifully. I already love this plant!
I received Lullaby Baby as a bonus this year. The blooms look white from a distance. The flowers are very soft pink, a delicate, beautiful bloom. Many scapes. This will certainly be one of my favorite daylilies! Thank You!
This is adorable! It is the sweetest little daylily, with it’s tiny ruffled blooms, and it’s delicate pink blush. If you’re looking for color, this is not for you, but if you want something understated, this is lovely.
You cant go wrong with this sweet lily. I just received it this spring and it has been blooming for the last 3 weeks. Great little one to have in your garden or in a pot to sit on the patio, which is how i have mine now.
I received this plant as an extra this spring and planted it in April I believe. It’s June 19th and Lullaby Baby is blooming!!!! The plant is only about 4″ high and it has a large bloom with two more to come. I’m very impressed. Thank you Oakes for another great plant.
The ruffled form of this gorgeous daylily is its best trait. It is very dainty. My only criticism is the color. It is white in Kentucky not pink. But it is still very lovely.
I have had this plant for many years, and it is one of my favorites. It’s such a sweet and gentle pink. When a relative lost an infant, I gave a Lullaby Baby for them to plant at the gravesite.
I planted these in November and they are blooming already in February. They are very pretty. A little off white in color. I wish they had more pink blush in them.
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.

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!
Daylily Stickers!
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.
