This is the best near white I’ve seen. Mine is larger and scapes are taller than stated. Looks beautiful with dark red lilies. Perfect.

This daylily is terrific. It’s color is very close to true white, and when my midseason bloomers are winding down their bloom season, this one is getting started up with lots of blooms that lasted until early November, of all things!It also is a fast increaser.I planted mine three years ago and it won’t be long before it will need dividing-really worth the money. Now I can plant more in some bare areas near the tractor shed without having to buy additional plants of the same variety- very economical in these times.

I received this daylily sometime between Mothers Day and June 1, this year. By July 4 it was already blooming and had 15, yes 15 buds waiting to open. It is a lovely, soft flower among the stronger reds and oranges. I am very pleased with the quality of the plants and service I receive from Oakes.

I received this as a free gift with my order last year and I am happier with it than with my other daylilies! A lovely, soft white bloom that just keeps coming. Still blooming into August.
