Orange Vols Daylily Features:
‘Orange Vols’ is one of our own introductions. We named this daylily in honor of our local University of Tennessee Volunteers. Complemented by superb dark blue-green foliage, this big orange flower puts on an absolute show! A must for all Big Orange fans (and those who love orange daylilies in general)! An excellent rebloomer.
This large 6 1/2″ bloom grows on scapes around 2′ tall in our East Tennessee garden. A beautiful mid season bloomer, we typically see it in here in zone 7 around the middle of June. If you are to our north, you’ll begin to see it a few weeks after we do. If you live to our south, you’ll likely see it a couple of weeks before us. Good rebloom ensures we get to see brilliant orange in the garden off and on throughout the season.
Orange Vols is a dormant variety which means it is best grown in gardens that get a sustained cold period in the winter, like those in zones 3-8.
We love this daylily paired with anything but it looks great when paired with yellow or gold, hot pink or purple. We, of course, love it especially when planted with near white daylilies. As University of Tennessee grads, we are partial with orange and white!

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.

As a family of Tennessee Vol fans here in Knoxville, these were intended to be our choice flower for our wedding! I love the vibrant color, and it blends beautifully with the purples and reds of fall!

Orange Vols is simply an amazing daylily! It shines and grabs attention from a distance. It’s so bright and is a workhorse in the landscape.
It also has a blue-green foliage that makes it a great landscape addition throughout the season. I’m in zone 6, and this variety is highly recommended!

Received my beautiful fans in the spring planting season. Decided to pot them so I could control the placement for the first year. They did great and when they bloomed, UT Vols were glorious. Beautiful stalks of multiple blooms that when opened, shouted to the high heavens that Orange was ready to impress. I am in zone 7 and they are happy as bugs in a rug. Thanks.

I have been buying Daylilys from Oakes since 1990. I use to call in my order than with cell phones and internet I just send in request. I love all their plants not just Orange Vols. Always nice big clumps. Healthy and in good shape. I love the bonus plants but seriously the plants they give you are quite the bonus! Thank you Oakes for your passion and care you put into your plants and customers.

After admiring the first plant’s bloom from the side porch, we reordered it to put on the other side of the house too. Such a wonderful sea of orange next to mixes of reds and yellows. Plenty big to divide but just keep letting it grow. Never get tired of it. zone 3 Wisconsin

Great color, blooms prolifically, nice and tall, & multiplies well. My Orange Vols were just gorgeous this year even in the late afternoon when the sun had tried to fry them all day in our very hot weather! They are planted in my backyard & I think I am going to have to plant some in front of the house (a yellow house with white trim). My neighbors have told me they are so glad I am growing flowers (69 varieties of day lilies) in my backyard. They are quite happy to let me do the work & just enjoy the show!!

What is your hardiness zone? Zone 8
I thought Mary Todd was one of the best varieties until I planted this one. I only ordered 1 plant but it was so huge I was able to get three plants from it which I potted in a 20″ pot in the fall. By June it had busted into lush green foilage with huge, vibrant orange (almost glowing) dozens of blooms. As one of the others said “breath taking” which I attest.Truly this one is at the top of my list. The color remains even through the heat of Georgia 95 degree temps.You won’t go wrong with this one.

I ordered a couple of Orange Vols a few years ago. They bloomed last year, but THIS year they’ve been truly impressive! Both plants are blooming like gangbusters, with a very vivid, intense color, and lots of large blooms on a single plant each day. They are especially lovely in contrast with my blue hydrangeas.

I’m not usually an orange-lover, but these are just spectacular. I find they look their absolute best on a cloudy afternoon or in light shade, as you can lose some of the the color nuance in bright sunlight. It is a mesmerizing plant!

My, Oh My……What a Fantastic daylily. The Orange Vols is a sure standout in the garden. It towers over alot of the other lilies. Just remarkable color. I truly am delighted in this daylily; and will surely order more. To me the orange is just beautiful. Either standing alone or mixed with other daylily colors. I cannot say enough about the Orange Vol. It must be awarded a 10+++….

Great gooly-moogly! The three Orange Vols I ordered have been in the ground exactly 20 days and I already have 13 budded scapes showing. Forgive the “early review” but I had to comment that the time from planting to budded plants must be something of a record! A real testament to the quality material you get from Oakes Daylilies.

I got this flower because my husband’s grandmother was a Tennesse fan. The flower is gorgeous. Bright, intense orange, almost a red-orange. I split one of the fans and have 2 plants blooming where I should have had 1. The other nice thing about this plant is that the day-old blooms that are done close up and look very similar to the buds that are about to bloom. So the plant always has a neat appearance, even if you don’t get the chance to clean up the spent blooms. Plus, I love orange flowers, so this one is great for me.

This is the second season for Orange Vols in our garden. I’d give it a 12 rating if I could. You can spot this two-tone large flower for a long way off. It is so hot and dry here but the Vols are blooming like conditions are perfect. Hopefully, we will get some rain soon and can look forward to rebloom also. Watering with city water just doesn’t do as well as rain or well water, IMO. No ditch lily look here. If you are an orange daylily fan, get yourself some Orange Vols from Oakes, and get ready for beautiful blooms.

Just this year, finally gave in and ordered this spectacular daylily, since orange reminds me so much of the older ‘ditchline daylily’ with which I grew up. Wow! Even in this first year in our garden, it bloomed prolifically and was totally eye-catching and visitors always had a comment on this particular daylily. Why did I wait so long?

I planted several Orange Vols this spring based on the glowing reviews by other customers, and they are without a doubt the best daylilies I have ever seen. The color is a magnificent bright orange that lights up the whole garden. The flowers are abundant and longlasting, and the foliage is dark green and vigorous. Keep in mind that this was the FIRST year–just imagine how great they’ll be next year. Orange Vols is such a wonderful daylily that I planted 11 more in early July!

My Orange vols opened today for the first time. And this is the most beautiful daylily I have set eyes on up till now. The flower are huge and vibrant. Mine are more of an orange than the picture, with the yellow standing out. I planted mine middle May this year and it made it’s first scapes after a month. It has already 3 scapes. I have received a nice big plant from Oakes Daylilies. If you like orange and can only buy one orange daylily, then this is definitely the daylily to buy.

We planted these on April and had huge bloom covered plants by the end of June and they are still going strong by the middle of July. The flowers are huge and almost like super-sized spiders. I had seen these in person in the Oakes gardens and the color that I remember and what grew out in MD are much lighter orange than shown above. VERY showy!
