    New: Newly listed offering in our catalog.
    hefty: Unusually large plants with a size exception: A=2 fans, B=1 fan.
    fragrant: These are daylilies we have observed to be fragrant in our fields.

Choose the plant size
Which size you choose is dependent on how willing you are to wait for bloom. We offer two size choices: Size A: mature divisions of 3 fans or more; or Size B: smaller divisions of 2 fans or more at a lower cost (exceptions are marked with 'hefty'). Size A is larger, and will bloom the first season after planting under most circumstances. The starter size B is smaller, and will generally bloom in its second season. It may bloom sooner in some circumstances.

CHOOSE YOUR SIZE

Our Guarantee
We guarantee the plants we ship to be healthy when they leave here and true to name. If upon receipt of our product you are in any way dissatisfied, immediately return the plant with original label and receipt for a full refund or exchange. Claims received over three weeks after order was shipped will not be granted, unless there is a question of identity. It is the customer's responsibility to care for the plants upon receiving them. A Daylily Cultivation Guide will be included in every shipment. Please follow its instructions for best results. Our farm is in USDA Zone 4.

Color and Performance
We describe our daylilies as they perform on our farm. Please read the descriptions thoroughly, as the photos do not tell the whole story. Some difference in appearance and performance is to be expected in a new location and under different growing conditions. As there is no such thing as a blue daylily, a purple here is not the same as an Iris purple. Also, many daylilies contain some trace of yellow. We use industry standards to describe color.
