The Green Pages: Oakes Daylilies (E-Commerce Companies)

I have been buying daylilies from Oakes for at least five years. They ship at the correct time of year for my gardens (zone 3 - unlike another supplier, whose order showed up in March with 4-ft of snow on the gardens) and always well-packed. The daylilies are the largest fans from anywhere, including competing daylily nurseries (whom I will not name or embarrass here) as well as direct purchases I have made in person at various display gardens.

And their bonus plants are always recognizable, registered daylilies ... not seedling rejects from a breeding program. I would definitely recommend Oakes: you get what you pay for, and then some.

I decided to place my very first daylily order with Oakes and was not disappointed. All the plants were healthy, with at least 3 to four fans on each plant. They also sent me a bonus plant, Little Grapette, which fit in very nicely. All of them had several nice blooms after planting, so I expect they will do even better next year after being more established.

I won the April 2015 ATP Raffle. For my prize I chose the Oakes Daylilies gift certificate. They have a wide selection of plants and it was difficult to decide what to purchase. Ultimately I went with the jumbo collection. The cost was $17.94 with my gift certificate. I received these plants quickly after my selection. The customer service was friendly and kept me up to date on my order shipment status. The fans were very large and healthy. I also received a very nice bonus plant with my order. All the plants were packed well and none were broken. They all had sufficient amount of space and adequate cushioning. The box that they came in was big. Nothing was crammed into a tight space to save on shipping. Oakes Daylilies does packaging and shipping right! I received 5 fans of Mary’s Gold, 5 fans of Spider Miracle (bonus plant), 4 fans of Jolly White Giant, 4 fans of Tuscawilla Tigress, 4 fans of Lilting Belle, 4 fans of Red Flag, and 4 fans of Ruffled Apricot. These plants are now in the ground and thriving. Mary’s gold has already started budding. I will continue to add pictures to the plant database as these plants bloom. I am posting below a link to Oakes Daylilies website. I am also posting below a picture of the plants I received and the box in which they were shipped. (I placed a purple sharpie on the corner on the box for a size scale.) I already threw away the packing material or I would have posted that in a picture as well. Overall this was a excellent experience in purchasing daylilies and I would like to thank Oakes Daylilies for supporting ATP by donating to the raffle!

I won the prize offered by Oakes Daylilies in the daylily not-a-raffle a few months ago. I chose the daylilies pictured below. They arrived very quickly and in beautiful condition. Some have already developed buds this year. I highly recommend this company.

I ordered from them several times and was very pleased! The fans were very big and had more than two or three to each variety! Wonderful & healthy fans! Always excited every time I ordered from them to see the fans when they arrived!

Great service and shipping!

Highly recommended! A+

This company is THE place to go for quality daylilies. The clumps are so large they almost are ready for dividing. Good quality and reasonable prices. Been ordering twice a year for four years. Good selection and great freebies.

I love my order, the shipping was reasonable, packing was good and plants are huge. I thought I was getting double fans but most of these are triple or better! They are really big, even the bonus plant. :)
I will order again and recommend them to everyone. Great value, give them a try!
