Daylilies are our passion as well as our business! O ver the years we have grown more than 4000 different varieties, and from this wealth of choices we select fo r you only the very strong est per formers. These are varieties that we k now will impress you with their vigorous growth and abundant blooms.

We take great pride in the quality and size of our plants. Oakes Daylilies are more th an twice th e size of others, with a minimum of 3 fans per clump These jumbo plants will quick ly settle into your garden and give you a beautiful display of flowers the ver y first year from an early spring planting

All of our daylilies are g rown on our family farm in East Tennessee We dig to order, and your farm-fresh plants will typically be out of the ground less than 24 hours before they are in a box and headed your way.

SELECTING YOUR DAYLILIES

I t ’s pretty simple, most of you can grow any of the daylilies we sell The only exception - If you live in an area that doesn’t get freezing weather in the winter, you nee d to choose Everg reen or Se mi- Evergreen var ieti es (n ot Dorm ant)

Folia ge Type: For most gardeners, foliage type doesn’t matter In areas that don’t get freezing weather, evergreens or semi- evergreens may maintain foliage year-round. In colder zones, foliage will typically be frozen to the ground regardless of type.

Bloom Season: Here in Tennessee, the earliest daylilies begin blooming in late May. Mid season is mid June, and the latest begin blooming in early July. Daylilies will bloom earlier south of us, and later to our nor th.

Rebloom : Varieties listed as rebloomers may have more than one set of bloom scapes, either one right after another, or with a break in-between.

Tet raploid: Tetraploid daylilies have twice the number of chromosomes. I t doesn’t really make any difference, unless you’re planning on hybridizing (crossing to make seeds).

GROWING GREAT DAYLILIES

Daylilies are ver y easy-to - grow plants. Complete planting and cultural information is included with each order, also available online (www oakesdaylilies com)

Plant in a sunny spot, full sun if possible. They ’re not too pick y about soil, but will appreciate a well- drained location They like a lot of water during the growing season. Plenty of water is key to getting the prettiest blooms.

Spring or Fall are both great times to plant

- In Spring, plant after danger of hard freeze has passed.

- In Fall, finish planting several weeks before freezing weather.

- You can plant through the summer in most areas if you water after planting. Space your daylilies 18-24” apart.
