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. Our daylilies grow in home gardens, city parks and botanical gardens across the nation– including Hawaii and Canada. 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.

I received Mexican Maiden as a free day lily with an order a couple years ago. I love the rosy red blooms and the petite size is striking in the front of my larger lilies. And….she reblooms! I’m in love with this little powerhouse lily!

Mexican Maiden is such a vivid color! Bright and cheerful with tons of blooms over a long period here in southern Ohio. Love it!

Needs more recognition Oakes

This is an outstanding Daylily! Here in SW Pa, Mexican Maiden is in its 3rd year in my garden. It bloomed the first year it was planted & gets better every year. It really doesn’t get the recognition it deserves Oakes. An outstanding & prolific bloomer with beautiful deep coral smiling blooms. I plan on planting these everywhere when they need divided which will probably be next year. Simply gorgeous!

I planted Mexican Maiden in May 2016, but it bloomed for the first time in July 2017, and produced flowers for almost exactly a month. This year, it started blooming on 05 July and will probably put out flowers on into August. I think it is the most prolific bloomer in my garden, putting out anywhere from 4 – 10 new flowers every day! It’s simply a riot of color. In my area (Zone 7a), Mexican Maiden leans more towards rosy pink than red.

It is so hard to find a darker colored daylily that is colorfast and grows well in our long hot summer. Mexican Maiden is all that AND it repeats bloom.. The color is sort of a rouge red. Very nice indeed.

Mexican Maiden, June 2016

Early summer bloom. After a rest, ‘Mexican Maiden’ has begun to rebloom and the color is even more intense. The flowers look almost plastic, the colors are so deep. They definitely catch the eye!

Planted Mexican Maiden last year and I am getting my 1st blooms this year. All I can say is WOW, WOW, WOW!! She is loaded with bloom with more to come and are way larger that 3 3/4 inches. The color is stunning. If only I could give 6 stars!!

I planted six of these in mid April of this year. Today (Jun 13) every plant had one or more blooms. Such beautiful color, it really pops in front of forsythia bushes. I wish I’d planted the whole length of the walkway in ‘Mexican Maiden’ and may still move some other plants to make room for more! Looking forward to it increasing in size and bloom next year!

Mexican Maiden is very short and looks great in front of “Little Strawberry Shortcake”. The color is not as intense as in the photo – more like eyezone of latter (LSS). Didn’t bloom until 2nd season but -for me- it’s a rebloomer so I recommend it. This might be a good daylily for a pot or window-box

Second year in my garden for this daylily and it is simply charming. Small rosy red flowers have lots and lots of blooms.

What a beautiful color! It really did catch my attention from across my front yard. This is the first year for this plant in my yard, growing in a large pot, and it already has put up five scapes, each covered with buds. Looks like a good choice!
