‘Red Volunteer’ daylily is one of our own introductions and a favorite of garden visitors and past customers. This award-winning variety does just what you want it to do – it grows well, has excellent foliage, and, of course, plenty of gorgeous blooms.

Consistently at the top of the Popularity Poll and was runner up for the Stout Medal. Chosen as an All American Selection and was featured in Better Homes and Gardens as an Editor’s Choice.

Hybridized by our founder, Bill Oakes, Red Volunteer has become a symbol of sorts for Oakes Daylilies. Large 7″ bright red blooms act like a beacon to welcome visitors to the garden. Scapes grow close to 3′ tall in our East Tennessee garden.

Blooming in mid season, we usually see it here in zone 7 around mid June. That means Red Volunteer is usually in full force for our annual Daylily Festival each June. If you are to our north, you’ll see it a few weeks after we do. If you live to our south, you’ll can expect to see it early June.

Red Volunteer is a semi-evergreen variety; it has been proven to grow well in gardens across the country. We’d love this daylily even if it wasn’t one of our own. We think it looks gorgeous on its own in a mass planting but you can’t go wrong if you want to pair it with orange, yellow, gold or dark purple daylilies.

HOW TO GROW DAYLILIES: Daylilies are very easy-to-grow. They like a lot of sun and they like a lot of water. For more information on how to care for daylilies, click here.
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. 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.
