Recommendation for online Hemerocallis source?

Check your yellow pages. The best prices are not found online in my experience. Almost all our perennials came from places like WalMart, Home Depot, Lowe's, local nurseries, Old Time Pottery, flea markets, friends, relatives and neighbors. I mentioned I liked cannas to a neighbor and she brought me a bag full of tubers when she thinned her canna beds a few months later.

I'd look about your neighborhood for trades.

I have always had good luck with daylilies ordered from songsparrow.com in Wisconsin. They send large divisions, and usually throw in some freebies on large orders.

Oddly enough, eBay.

I have been doing the same thing this year with a new-ish bed - mostly daylilies. I have bought some locally, but decided to get some online (my Mother, in a different state, wanted to buy some named for me and my daughter - how lucky is that to find both? - as Mother's Day gifts). After both of us looking online, she ordered them from

My step-Mom saw the website after I ordered, ordered a few types, and was also very satisfied with the whole shebang - they're all gorgeous, too.

So... two sets of thumbs up for Oakes.

Sorry - hit the send key too soon!

You should be able to find a local grower who will have reasonable prices.

Oakes is excellent. They are "just up the road" from me and I've seen their operation and the quality of their stock. I've not done a lot of comparisons of prices but theirs doesn't seem as shocking as White's. Of course I've got the advantage of being able to order and then drive up a couple of days later to pick up my plants but given the unkillable nature of the plants I doubt that any sort of reasonable shipping conditions would hurt them.

Jo Ann,

Where do you live?

There are any number of great places to buy locally in New England. I'm an easy drive from three, two of which have a very wide assortment of cultivars. The best one is in Deerfield, MA on River Road.

I don't like mail ordering because the pictures often don't look like the plant. In fact, I won't buy day lillies that aren't in bloom, now, because that's the only way I can really know what they're going to look like.
