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.

I bought this daylily from Oakes many years ago in South Carolina. It’s performance amazed me. Giant pale yellow blooms in abundance. Hardy in the heat and humidity of western Carolinas in summer. Only thing I would change I wish it was a rebloomer. You won’t be disappointed with Prairie Moonlight or Oakes Daylilies. They always ship big healthy fans that usually bloom first year. Great variety and great reliable nursery.

Love this gorgeous daylily. The blooms are huge, and it’s a good rapid grower. In my garden, it never gets as tall as the stated height. Goes great with Wayside King Royale.

This daylily is stunning!! It may be a pale yellow but it glows and I keep dividing every few years to spread the joy and give to friends:} One can not go wrong to add this to their gardens.

I have hundreds of varieties of daylilies and this is my absolute favorite. The color is very soothing and well, almost appetizing…like a pale lemon sherbet. That combined with the subtle fragrance really sets it apart from all the others. It’s one of the 3 or 4 plants I most look forward to blooming each year.

I’m not usually a fan of yellow daylilies, but I bought three of these on a whim. Wow! I was not disappointed. They are definitely much prettier than I expected and look wonderful placed next to purple-flowering perennials. It looks great next to baptisia australis or perennial salvia – – a great color combination. I would definitely recommend Prairie Moonlight, It gets your attention!

To be honest, when it comes to daylilies, prairie moonlight really doesn’t fit my overall taste. But, hey, live and learn! I tried it on a lark and certainly wasn’t expecting to be smitten. It hooked me. As far as placement goes, I recommend a spot that benefits from the light of evening and sundown. The huge blooms seem to glow in the late day light.

This is one yellow daylily that will get your attention, no matter what else is blooming nearby. Big, big blooms. My only problem, if any, is that it isn’t a rebloomer. I got this late last summer from Oakes and have lots of bloom this year on a good sized plant. If you love a good yellow daylily with huge blooms, this is for you.

All moonlight gardens should have this plant. Opens in the afternoon and glows in the evening. Big, beautiful pale yellow flower. And FRAGRANT to boot!

This daylily earned a 9 only because it is not a Stout Award winner. In my north garden it puts on a floriforous display that compliments and rivals the 75 pastel Asiatic Lilies 5 feet away. Everyone comments on it. It creates a great party effect. My clump is 8 years old and was divided once into 65. The color merges well with any perennial.
