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 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.

  1. Beautiful, a favorite

    Deborah Lindbom

    Smokey Mountain Autumn is my favorite out of over one hundred varieties in my garden. I anxiously await her first blooms, and mourn as the last flower fades. Another whole year to wait to see her beauty again. I think the unique color combination and shading is what I enjoy most. She’s a must have!

    Mine looks most like #1. I get less of the apricot center and more of a darker smoky rose color. This is my favorite daylily color out of 40 lily’s I have. My favorite for
    “see it a block away” is “Wild horses”.

    I purchased Smoky Mountain Autumn last fall, and I could hardly wait until this Spring to see if she would bloom. It was well worth the wait. She has produced 4 bloom scapes with 3-4 buds on each scape. In my garden, Smoky Mountain Autumn looks exactly like the photos shown and she adds a beautiful pop of color to my garden as well as a subtle sweet fragrance. You can’t go wrong with this daylily and I would recommend it to anyone wanting a bright almost tropical color in their garden. As always, Oakes always provides the largest and healthiest plants and I simply won’t buy my daylilies anywhere except from Oakes. They absolutely produce the best daylilies around. You can’t go wrong with this daylily and with Oakes.

    When they say early season and 18 inches, they mean it. It’s fast out of the gates and short. The form is very good and the color blend is gorgeous but subtle — the up close ‘n personal type rather than the “see it from a block away” type like, say, Eye-yi-yi or Red Volunteer. Because of the early season bloom and short height, I have some ‘Smokies’ as part of the border of my large tall bearded iris garden. This daylily helps take the edge off the minor melancholy that sometimes sets in when the spectacular but short iris bloom has run its course. Consider it as a border companion to an iris garden or any border area where an early pop of fine daylily form and color will be appreciated.

    This flower has the honor of being the most magnificent pink on the market. It is without a doubt a daylily I could not live without. Very classy!

    This is the first year for our Smoky Mountain Autumn to bloom and the color and shape are beautiful and did not disappoint. Was a bit disappointed in the size of the scape; wish it was a bit taller to hold the gorgeous flower up a bit more to be admired. Perhaps I should have put it into a container.

    This is the first time Smoky Mountain Autumn has bloomed for me, and it is breath taking! On the website, there is an image 1 and an image 2. My flowers look just like image 2, and they are so gorgeous. It is probably my favorite daylily, and I have many of them.
