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.
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!
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.
Fall Orders:
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.

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