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.
ABOUT US: Oakes Daylilies is a family-owned daylily farm that’s been in business for three generations.

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’ve been growing this pretty little daylily in my garden since May 2020. It bloomed its first year in the ground. Such a gorgeous shade of rich lavender that really stands out against the yellow throat. I love it and will of course be adding more!

When we moved into a retirement cottage I brought some daylilies with me, but after they bloomed this year my wife said “I miss Prairie Blue Eyes; it was one of my favorites”. She had not volunteered that before, so I found it at Oakes and ordered one. It arrived in excellent condition and Oakes included a gift daylily with it. The plant supplied should bloom well next year. Oakes will be my go-to for any future daylily plants!

Received 3 as bonus to an order. Blooms reliably, remains evergreen all year: moderately resistant to leaf rust. Colors make it wife’s favorite daylily. Will be ordering more.

This is a wonderful product. I have had them for over 20 years and they still bloom. The blooms are big and beautiful. I am highly satisfied.

The color is not vibrant and darker than the photo. It blooms long and hard all spring to early summer.

I have a lot of daylilies and sad to say this is one that I’ve abused in the past——-and yet it still lives and blooms with the most exquisite color imaginable. Neither a photo nor a written description is able to convey the true color of this daylily. Strange name for a daylily, but it should be at the top of your list of plants to buy this year.

This is one of the first to bloom for me here in 8B. It looks lovely with white guara and mealy sage. Mine have more contrasting petals than the picture shown but is still very pretty. I love it!

I’m aware I tend to rate each daylily we own as a 9 or 10, since I have never seen one I didn’t love. However, this one would be 10+. The color is unique and gorgeous, with lots of blooms. Even harvested a proliferation from one of our last year. How rewarding!

I received Prairie Blue-eyes as a gift from a friend. Had no idea what to expect. This is its first season and I have been amazed. I thought it would never stop blooming! It has such a unique and striking color, it just demands to be noticed!

A lovely lavender, with gorgeous shading, and a smiling yellow eye. Prairie Blue Eyes was the first of the “Beginners Collection” daylilies I purchased this year to bloom, and it’s already got a number of flower scapes and multiple flowers, even though the plants are only a month in the ground. I can see that this one is going to be a reliable show stopper in my garden!

This is a very pretty one! It really does look lavender/purple and not maroon like some of the other purples. The flower is medium in size and the petals are nicely shaped.
