After reading the review from the lady from Sinking Springs, PA, I decided to see what all the fuss was about with this daylily. I ordered 6 and I’m so glad I did! It is everything she said. Mine just starting growing this week and they are outstanding! I too have many orange daylilies and they are gorgeous, but I love the bright color of this reddish-orange gem. One of my plants opened 3 buds today and my mouth dropped open. Gorgeous! If you like brash & bold in your garden color, you’ve got to try this one. I’m big into orange & gold and this beauty fits right in! (I also have Lady Lucille and love it!) Thanks Sinking Springs for the excellent review. I love Man Catcher as much as you do.
This one is so tall and gorgeous, it’s ridiculous! I have it planted with Caribbean Frank League and what a stunning display the two make, a fiery orange background to a beautiful black Daylily. This one just screams at you. It’s amazing!
Hold on to your hat! This one is really it and I am back for 3 more. I had lost track the names of all the daylilies I had planted the year before, but I dug down to find the name of THIS one so I could get more. It is the brightest flower of ANY kind in my 2014 garden, held high on strong scapes with a multitude of buds. I only like brights (nothing wimpy or pale) and this was like a blazing beacon from 100 feet away. I have dozens of daylilies and many other oranges; but am going to “lift and gift” some of the others to make room for more Man Catchers. It pairs well with Lady Lucille (which is shorter and later) for weeks of firey orange blaze that you can’t look away from!
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.

We will send as soon as possible, up until it is too late to plant in your area. Orders placed after that time will ship the following spring. See the chart below for last shipping date by zone.

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.
