In my zone 6 garden here in southwest Ohio, Night Embers just keeps getting better and better over the years. I highly recommend it’s big double blooms for a deep, dark bloom with a thin gold edge. The blooms are just so rich and deep that you’ll want to take pictures of every one!
This is a stunning daylily. Takes your breath away, Night Embers is the perfect name. The deep cherry red, edged in bright gold and the reverse is the same gold. Seems to get darker as the day goes on but never disappoints. My plant did not do much year one, year 2 was amazing, have great hopes for year 3 and then I am going to divide!! An unexpected surprise was the proliferations at the end of the season this past year. Collected three viable proliferations this year.
Consistently double, keeps it color and design, stands up well to weather. The only reason I didn’t rate a five is because it doesn’t produce many buds on this 2-year old plant (3 scapes, 29 buds, bloomed 32 days.) It’s one of the lilies I pick and put where I can enjoy it in the house because it’s an unusual beauty.
One of my favorites. Vigorous plants, reliably double and holds its color well. Produces a moderate number of blooms. If you like doubles and deep reds then you will want this in your garden.
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.
