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.

Like others have said, looks just like the picture and blooms well with some repeating. I want to add that if you live with severe heat 100 deg+ for weeks to months at a time, this is one to add to your garden (I’m in Dallas, TX zone 8a). It seems to be bulletproof and the heat doesn’t fade the blooms. Contrasts very well with the bright yellow, orange, red, and pinks!

Of all my dayliles, this is my favorite. The color is a deep purple for me with a startling lime green throat. The color stays true all day, even in full sun. I get a bunch of new blooms every morning. These look stunning along the front sidewalk stone border.

This is one of my favorite daylilies! I planted it in 2005 and enjoy the blooms every year. The deep purple petals and neon green throat brightens my mornings. I think they are more beautiful in person and the pictures don’t do them justice. Colors do fade in the afternoon sun and heat, but it is a hardy plant and will always have a special place in my garden.

It’s definately a “beacon”. It shows up well and has good rebloom. The blooms on mine were 5″, not 4″. It looks great planted with “Bela Lugosi” and “Golden Gift” daylilies, as well as Gaillardia “Goblin” and Coreopsis “Early Sunrise”. The blooms were lighter and the halo more pronounced in the rebloom. Beautiful!

My Night Beacon looks exactly like the picture and is especially stunning in the garden. I’ve only had it a couple years, and I did plant it in a partially shaded area to protect the color, and that may be why it has not had as many scapes as some others. However, it is a true keeper for the unbelievable combination of striking colors.

Yes, exactly like the picture! One of my top 3 favs of the 14 varieties I have, and the only dark purple. I moved it from a full sun location to the east side of my house, and the purple holds much better. Super pretty before noon, when the large chartreuse throat really shines like the beacon it’s named for. Even at the end of the day, still a very pretty flower, though the throat has faded to yellow. Highly recommended if you’re looking for something different & striking.

This is a WOW daylily. Exactly like the picture. Blooms are larger this year and once in awhile it will put out a triangle shaped one. Amazingly hardy for such a distinct patterned plant. It has it all.

Night Beacon is certainly that! Its eye glows from the center of deep darkness, casting a beacon of light in the garden. True to the photo, it is just as beautiful!

I have had mixed results with this one. Two plants just ten feed apart and one does quite well and the other has trouble setting and maintaining its blooms. The one that does bloom has beautiful blooms but not very prolific.

A very striking and show stopping daylily. The chartreuse throat is very pronounced against the dark purple. I have had many nice comments on this daylily. Some people have even asked if it is a daylily. A must for the garden.
