*5 1/2″ bloom, 32″ tall, Mid-Late Season + rebloom, Dormant
5-4-3-2-1…’Rocket Blast’ is one to remember! An electrifying combination of red with a deeper red eye, this sport of ‘Fireside Embers’ and ‘Furnace of Babylon’ will have you feeling the heat all summer!
This was a bonus plant & it is a stunner! Planted in my almost pure sand driveway, zone 5, upper peninsula of Michigan & it’s thriving. As it was only planted a month or so ago, I was delighted to see it produce a scape with several blossoms! I can’t recommend Oakes highly enough; I’ve never been disappointed!
On a scale of 1-10, this looks like a 20–wish I could afford it now! I think you should start a Daylily Annoymous Support Group for those of us you’ve gotten hooked on these highly addictive plants…Pleeeease! You owe it to us!!!
You can request a specific date in the Order Notes box during checkout, and we will ship your plants as close to the time you request as possible.
We ship February — October.
Or we will send at the proper time for planting:
Winter and Early Spring Orders:
We will send at the appropriate time for Spring planting in your area. See the chart below for approximate starting shipping dates by zone.
Late Spring and Summer Orders :
After shipping has started to your area, we will send as soon as possible, normally within one to two weeks.
PLEASE NOTE – We will do our best to ship as quickly as possible, but the plants are growing in the ground, not sitting on a shelf, so it takes some time to get them dug and ready to ship.
Fall Orders:
We will send as soon as possible, up until it is too late to plant in your area. Orders placed after that time will ship the following spring. See the chart below for last shipping date by zone.

It’s pretty simple: 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, dormant varieties won’t work for you; you need to choose evergreen or semi-evergreen varieties.
We normally include bonus plants equal to about 20% of your order. And these aren’t “leftover” plants, or “whatever we’ve got lying around.” These are the same huge, healthy plants we sell. Just leave the decision up to us— we’ll pick something we know you’ll love!
Daylily Stickers!
After the year we’ve all had, we’re trying to wring whatever joy we can find out of every day— even Tax Day*. So we put our thinking caps on and thought, “What is silly and fun and makes everyone happy?”.
That’s when it hit us: stickers! To make your day brighter, we are offering 13 stickers free with every order today through April 19!!!
Stick ’em on your water bottle, your cooler, your laptop (even your wheelbarrow!) or wherever else you could use a bit of cheery color.
*We know that Tax Day has officially been moved to May 17. Since today is traditionally Tax Day, though, we’re going for it.
