I planted three of these beauties last fall and was I happy this summer when I saw the blooms in person! They were large, lovely, and the blooms just kept on coming. I have to also say a word about how healthy the shipped plants were upon arrival. I have yet to be disappointed shopping for daylilys at Oakes. Thanks!
I grew this lovely Daylily in my Wisconsin home and now that I’ve relocated, I will be sure to add this to my new garden. Even grown in part shade on the SE side of our home, it bloomed well, had strong thick stems and indeed was as fragrant as described. However, it did not rebloom for me under those conditions. Its delicate coloring enhanced the more vibrantly colored flowers around it – both cool and warm shades. And was just beautiful with variegated foliage perennials. Absolutely a welcome addition to any garden. My one wish is that the petals had greater substance, as they tend to look a bit filmy as the flower wanes.
First planting, first blooms soooo pretty. I bought it based on Oakes “very fragrant” comment and boy oh boy, it is! I can’t walk by without stopping to admire it closely and take a wonderful sniff of its fragrance. I am so very pleased with this plant. It gets late morn and noon sun only and is doing very well. zone 3 Wisconsin

I got my first bloom from Sunday Gloves last Sunday (very fitting). I now have several huge, nearly white blooms measuring 7″ across. This daylily is stunning and I highly recommend it.
Light, pale yellow. Looks almost white from a distance. While not my favorite color, Sunday Gloves does great in my garden. I am fond of the darker colors,but this one shows up well in the landscape. Another fast grower that divides easily.
What a great name for a fabulous daylily. Would probably rate a 10 if a bit whiter, but it will not disappoint accepted as is. This is truly an elegant bloom that will completely satisfy.
I had to have this daylily once I saw it at the Festival– it is perfectly beautiful in color and form and will go in the front of the border for all to see. It is an elegant looking flower and is appropriately named–can’t wait to see whether it will bloom profusely. I like the tidy greenery which adds to the beauty of the flower.
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.

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.

My Sunday Gloves are gorgeous this year and also fragrant. The name is very appropriate.
