6 1/2″ bloom, 22″ tall, Very-Late Season, Dormant
‘Tender Love’ daylily is a gorgeous way to extend daylily season. A very late season bloomer, these large creamy pink blooms with a soft yellow halo are often some of the last we see in the garden. Not just beautiful, Tender Love is also a very fragrant variety. In fact, it is a past winner of the L Ernest Plouf Fragrance Award.

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, you get to choose what you’d like at checkout.
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.

First planting, first blooms are light colored as pictured and so pretty. I mostly bought bases on the fragrance award win but am pleased with the bloom color too. Will move it to a more up front spot for next year. Zone 3 WI

Purchased and planted Tender Love in spring of 2016. I was surprised to get a bloom or two at the end of the season. Now, at the end of July in 2017, Tender Love is providing very pretty flowers. The only downside with this daylily is that a few of its leaves have already become to turn brown (as also mentioned by another poster). I have positive expectations for Tender Love in the years to come.

The last bloom on my Tender Love opened August 7. Such a beautiful flower. Mine looked just like the pictures. A great pastel daylily!!

Planted my Tender Love Daylilies last fall. Started blooming a week ago. Looks exactly as pictured; form and all. It may still be early but I gave it a 9 because of the foliage; started yellowing early in the season. I guess that’s expected for a “very late bloomer” in the Virginia heat. Can’t wait to see it in a year or two!

This photo does not do justice to this subtle beauty. My Tender Loves are in the sunniest part of my yard and they don’t fade out in the hot, windy Missouri summer. This was my first year with Tender Love and I really love it!
