Why some shipping routes differ

Live plants are pickup only June 1–September 30. Plugs and potted plants cannot use our shipping path to AZ, CA, HI, ID, NV, OR, UT, or WA; pickup may remain available. Soil-free bare root plants may ship to those states during March 1–May 31 when all remaining rules pass. Montana plug and potted-plant arrivals must be October 1–May 31.

We choose neem oil and lower-impact plant care instead of routinely drenching our greenhouse with lab-manufactured pesticides. We are exploring a screened growing house that may expand future shipping options.

Bare root arrives dormant

Expect new growth in about 6 weeks after planting. Until then it can look lifeless, so you won’t be able to tell within 24 hours of arrival whether it will grow.

About the Product

Buttered Popcorn is one of the best large-flowered reblooming daylilies. Its fragrant 6-inch blooms are a solid butter yellow with just a tiny green throat.

Good branching puts many flowers on each scape, starting in midsummer and returning later in the season. At about 32 inches tall it suits the middle of a sunny border.

What it looks like

Large, open flowers about 6 inches across with broad, gently ruffled tepals in solid butter yellow, the same color throughout, with a tiny green throat. Each bloom lasts a day, but many buds open in turn on branched scapes rising to about 32 inches above a fountain of long, arching, strap-shaped medium green leaves. The foliage clump is about 19 inches tall and 18 to 24 inches wide. At peak bloom several big butter-yellow flowers are open at once along the scapes.

Growing it with lavender

Its big butter-yellow flowers pair beautifully behind purple lavender in full sun and well-drained soil.

Care

Grow in full sun to light part shade (at least six hours of sun for the best bloom) in average, well-drained soil; once established it handles heat, clay and dry spells. Hardy in zones 3 to 9. Deadhead regularly and pull spent scapes to keep new buds coming, and divide crowded clumps every few years.

Dormant bare-root daylily as it arrives, laid on burlap

When it arrives

Your bare-root plant

You'll get one or more 'fans' of trimmed leaves on a crown with thick, tuberous roots. Soak roots for a few hours, then spread them over a mound of soil in the hole and cover so the crown sits no more than 1 inch deep.

Expect new growth in about 6 weeks after planting. Bare root ships March–May while dormant, with little or no top growth, and it can look lifeless until then. That’s normal. Green shoots break through in early to mid spring. Evergreen types may look mushy after winter but regrow. Bloom varies by variety, from early summer to late summer.

You won’t be able to tell within 24 hours of arrival whether a dormant plant will grow.

When to plant

Spring or late summer to early fall, at least 4–6 weeks before frost.

How deep

Set the crown, where the leaves meet the roots, no more than 1 inch below the soil surface. Planting deeper reduces bloom.

Spacing

18–24 inches.

Soil

Most soils, from sand to clay · pH 6.0–7.5

Fix-it tip: Work compost into heavy clay or very sandy soil before planting.

Sun

Full sun (tolerates part shade).

Shade cuts down flowers. Dark reds and purples can like light afternoon shade.
