Prairie Blue Eyes Daylily Features:
‘Prairie Blue Eyes’ daylily is a sight to see! There is no such thing as a true blue daylily, but we don’t miss that color tone quite as much with these lavender blooms in the garden. Blooms are a lovely blue-toned lavender with a purple eyezone and yellow throat. Color aside, these nice size blooms are easy to see on scapes around 28″ tall in our East Tennessee garden. Unique in color and a reliable bloomer.
Outstanding, beautiful blooms are 5 1/4″ across on scapes around 28″ tall. A mid season bloomer, we typically see Prairie Blue Eyes first appear around mid June here in our East Tennessee garden. If you are to our north, you’ll likely see it a few weeks after we do. If you live to our south, you’ll see it a bit before us.
A semi-evergreen variety means that gardens across the nation will be able to grow Prairie Blue Eyes.
Thanks to its outstanding color, we think Prairie Blue Eyes looks spectacular with daylilies of all colors (but it looks especially gorgeous with gold!)

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, you get to choose what you’d like at checkout.

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 was intrigued by the unique color of Prairie Blue Eyes, and planted one in early October 2016 alongside several other pinks and purples. While the other varieties were quite robust, this one has proven itself to be a little more delicate, and struggled a little to get established, and so did not bloom the first summer (2017). This summer, it’s a bit stronger, and put out about 4-5 blossoms over about two and a half weeks in July. I may try moving this one to see if it does better in a different location – it may just need some more space. Although the first two blooms were damaged, the last two have been absolutely perfect. The color is absolutely beautiful, with a pronounced difference of color intensity between the petals and sepals.

Not a blue daylily but one that is different in color.It’s only the second year for mine but has had numerous blooms and grows well too.
