Shipping rates
- We ship via U.S. Postal Service (USPS) Priority Mail with Tracking. We will try to continue our policy of charging $12.00 per order, however shipping costs are subject to change. We will contact you if needed regarding shipping costs.
- If you prefer another mode of shipping (e.g., UPS or FedEx), faster guaranteed service (such as 2-day or overnight), or if you wish to insure the shipment, please contact us to make arrangements. We will need a street address for alternate shipping modes.
When your daylilies arrive
- Your daylilies will arrive bare root, with roots trimmed and foliage cut back, ready for planting.
- Upon receipt of your daylily shipment, please unpack carefully and soak the roots for several hours or overnight in cool water out of direct sun (use either plain water or a weak solution of balanced liquid plant food). Follow our planting instructions for best results.
- Never keep damp bare-root daylilies in plastic bags or other packaging. They may quickly rot and die, especially in hot weather.
We include a quality plant label
- Please note that we ship your daylily with a UV-resistant Brother Industrial Strength Tape label. You may use this label as a temporary or semi-permanent garden label.You can apply the label to a garden marker face plate or—as daylily growers often do—bury the label under your daylily to keep the cultivar name and plant together.
- Cultivar spelling and description are based on registration information as shown in the ADS Check List of Hemerocallis Cultivar Registrations.
