I just received catalog from Oakes Daylilies. What other places might I get catalogs from in order to find a large variety of daylilies? Especially rebloomers and very late blooming to make the season last longer!

We are hoping to be moving and in new home for spring and am dreaming of all new gardens!

Thanks for any help & guidance in my quest!!

Have you seen the listing here at Hallson's? Some very nice daylily varieties for sale at good prices:

John, Absolutely have looked here & I am really liking Baja & South Seas & a couple others and very good prices!!

Ed, thanks for the link! My goodness there are soooo many I like. I will be till spring trying to decide. I like such color variations it will take some real thought on my part to put things together so they look good!

I like starting out in soft colors,then go onto the hot/ bold colors for July & August and then start going back to softer colors for fall. Does that sound crazy?

Plus don't know how much space I will end up with. Have looked at properties from 1/2 acre to 6 acres!!

Thanks for your suggestions guys!

woohoo..more sites to look at. I have ordered from Maryott's and was very happy. Plants arrived in wonderful condition and were multiple fan. I ordered about $35 worth from them and they sent not one but two bonus plants...very nice bonus plants at that!

Oh I bet you can find land and house down there, Claudia....it's a bit far for DH to drive to the mill from there, though......

....We are still on the look out for a new place to live......WITH SHADE *AND* SUN.....

Claudia,
Crossing my fingers on your offer!

The places I buy from have already been mentioned. I do get some from the Lily Auction too.

I've never bought daylilies from Hallson's, but have bought Hosta and bulbs and was just delighted with what I received!

Oh, and a late that I have that I really like is Autumn Jewels by Trimmer. And GREYWOODS JAVA ILLUSION is another.
And that reminds me ... Greywoods Farm has a lot of lates and dormants.

Ha, I did get to give you another place to look.

Both pictures are from my garden.

Pretty Sharon. Isn't it funny how things slip out without you knowing it!

Will check them out for sure.
