Inexpensive collection. Be prepared for many single fan

I expected three fan clumps, not 8 clumps w/3-5 fans plus 14 single fans. This could be good if you are looking to fill a large space and you are willing to wait. I have been ordering from Oakes for many years. This is the first time I have been disappointed receiving so many single fans. I supposed I will plant the many singles in close groups to see what blooms. Perhaps I will be pleasantly surprised. I hope so.
I bought this Mix in March and they are blooming. Very pretty blooms – a mix of small and large blooms which is very nice – my only issue is that i received alot of yellows, with very few of the reds, purple, pinks mentioned. I guess one would have to order the larger numbers ( small garden i only ordered the 25 mix) to get more of the different colors. Other than that, it was a good price for the number of lilies .
Hello Oakes People, the quality and the size of the lilies are with out question.however i am quite disappointed in the “mix”,your website states less emphasis on yellows and more other colors.this has not been my case as i have seen now 44 plants bloom either yellow/pale yellow/orange and cream(i already have a huge border of yellow lilies)also i have 14 purple with a yellow/green center.i was really hoping for a majority of reds/darker purples and bi colors.i can”t say with confidence that i will be ordering again,as even though you were generous with sending bonus plants 58 out of the original 100 order are to me basically 2 colors,just slight variations.i would have to rate the collection a 5 ,not because of quality but because of lack of diversity in the mix….thank you,ray
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.

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.
