Royal Frosting is new for me this year, but its petals glisten with sparkles and occasionally have the palest blush. The blooms are big and I find myself cupping the flower in my hands like a beautiful goblet and just admiring it–beautiful even after a hot, humid day. The flowers and scapes on this variety have great substance, and the fragrance is beautiful. Royal Frosting also appears to have bud-building characteristics this year in my garden and, as a result, has produced blooms longer than I expected. I purchased my clump of Royal Frosting later in the season and, although it is listed as an early season cultivar, it is one of only 3 daylilies I have left with blooms on it (out of the nearly 50 blooming daylilies I have this year)…and it still has quite a few blooms left!
I have had Royal Frosting for three years, and it is lovely. Its white glows next to hydrangea Nikko Blue, and the fragrance is very nice. A good number of blooms- I’d like it to grow faster, so I can divide it and have more around my garden!
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.

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.

I planted this fairly late and still got great blooms. It’s my favorite near white.
