Pardon Me Daylily Features:
‘Pardon Me’ daylily is one of the best reblooming reds ever. Small, deep burgundy red blooms make it a charming choice for the front of the border. Starts blooming late in the season and continues until frost.
2 3/4″ blooms are held aloft scapes around 18″ tall in our East Tennessee garden. A mid to late season bloomer, we can typically expect to see this lovely daylily around the mid to late June or early July in our East Tennessee garden. If you are to the north of us, you can expect to see it a couple of weeks after we do. If you are to our south, you can look forward to seeing it a bit before us. A fantastic rebloom allows us to see its bright red blooms off and on until frost.
Classified as a Fragrant daylily, Pardon Me offers a subtle, gentle fragrance to the garden.
Pardon Me is a Dormant daylily which means it grows best in planting zones that have a sustained cold period in winter.

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.

Bright red daylily, strong color. Throat is yellow. Goes with many other flowers. I’m in 6b.

Excellent lily investment. Pardon Me predictably pops cherry red twice a season. Slightly shorter than some, Pardon’s lively color is an attention-getter in our garden border

This was a bonus plant for me YEARS ago! The bloom size is smaller than most of my other daylilies, but this plant really puts on a show for me and is also a vigorous rebloomer.

I just ordered and planted Pardon Me this spring (2020) and I am so impressed already! All of the plants have sent up scapes are are blooming beautifully. The flowers are small (as the description says) but what they lack in size they make up for in beauty. The color is exactly what it looks like in the picture, a deep scarlet red, and the yellow throat really pops. I can’t wait to see next year, after it’s settled in!

It has been a while since I bought these. They come back every year. I have divided them several times. They look better and better.

When we opened the box of daylilies we ordered, we were pulling out clumps of daylilies not just single or double fans. The Bonus plant was a clump too. This is why we buy our daylily plants from you. You’re the best! Thanks!

I have really come to appreciate this little cutie. I have had reliable dark red blooms for most of the summer, and it is still blooming in mid-August. I bought several of them originally in 2009. Last year, I divided the clumps. Both the original plants and the new divisions continue to bloom and bloom. P.S. In case you are wondering, daylilies are incredibly easy to divide, even for me, who had never done it before. Give it a try!

I ordered this late in the season, so it didn’t get planted until June 25. Less than a month later (July 14), it is already blooming!!! I can’t believe it. So pretty. I can’t wait to see it next year, if it is performing like this now. I have it in full sun and water it daily, of course. I’m in zone 7.

Enjoying highlight of this plant in the day lily bed. We are in S. Coast of Massachusetts, very hot and humid on many days. This plant is really glorious, beautiful pure red color and very big blooms. Look forward to seeing it all season.

The deep burgandy color of Pardon Me is stunning. A real eyecatcher for sure. I get great armfuls of blossoms daily that last all day and really keep their color. They bloom from early in the season until late in the summer, nearly until the first frost. The rebloom on this one is even better than the first bloom. I have never noticed a fragrance but maybe I missed it.

Love the abundance of blooms, but wish it were a truer red. This clump divides well and adapts quickly.

Cute little plant with cute little flowers, but I’m not really crazy about the color. Maybe the Pardon Me wine-colored red would look better if it weren’t so close to the vibrant Rooten Tooten Red. Next time I divide the beds, I’ll move those two farther apart, and maybe I’ll like Pardon Me better then.

I had this beautiful baby when I lived in Atlanta. So magnificent were the blooms! Now that I live closer to FL I will purchase more to give my garden the touch of color and hardiness that it needs!

I have had Pardon Me for 2 years. This year it bloomed and bloomed and bloomed. And then, at the END of September it sent up another scape and so I will have blooms in OCTOBER in central Ohio. What a nice surprise!

Great for an accent. Doesn’t get too tall so good for the smaller garden. Another one that can be divided over and over. True red color.

My Pardon Me started out as one fan division four years ago and bloomed from first year. I divided this fall (09/2008) and kept a huge division for myself and was able to give two daughters 5-6 fan divisions for their gardens. Blooms almost non-stop for me until frost but my garden is a late starter anyway here in Zone 5A. This was my first daylily and is what got me hooked. I have 38 named plants now and wish I had room for more!

I have Pardon Me planted in a serpentine border accompanied by Pandora’s Box. What a combination! They begin blooming within days of each other; and the show literally stops people in their tracks when they step through my garden gate to the back yard.Since they are not very tall, they are not overwhelming and look wonderful in the front of that border.

I also planted Pardon Me with Stella De Oro and the colors look great together. I get a lot of compliments on my daylily bed! I just wish it bloomed as often as Stella so I could see the great combo more often.

Small bursts of red color to brighten the garden. The size and color go nice with Stella d’Oro.

I love this daylillie, this is the first year I’ve had it and it hasn’t stopped blooming for a month and a half. The color is not a true red but even prettier and a lovely bright throat. A real stand out in the garden, I highly recommend this hardy beauty to all.Color holds up very well in the sun.
