If plants in pots or plugs cannot ship to your state, your plant and quantity stay saved. Choose farm pickup, enter another delivery ZIP, or shop soil-free bare root plants during their March 1–May 31 shipping window.
We recommend purchasing 6 months in advance to secure your space in the greenhouse. Most of our plants are grown to order, so they can take up to 6 months to fill out with good roots for planting. Earlier dates are welcome if we already have the plants growing in our greenhouse — we'll confirm timing with you. Dates within 30 days must be paid in full. Dates 31 days or more out require a 50% deposit, with the balance due two weeks before we ship.

Start with Nosferatu Daylily - Bare Root Plant, mix qualifying varieties,
track minimums and pricing, and coordinate future production in one place.
Nosferatu has large 6-inch flowers in a shimmering dark purple with a chartreuse throat and pie-crust ruffled petals. The color holds up very well in full sun.
A high bud count on well-branched scapes gives many weeks of bloom in midseason, and the flowers carry a light fragrance over semi-evergreen foliage.
What it looks like
Large flowers about 6 inches across with broad, pie-crust ruffled petals in shimmering deep purple and a bright chartreuse throat. Each bloom lasts a day, but many buds open in turn on branched scapes rising to about 26 inches above a fountain of long, arching, strap-shaped medium green leaves. The foliage clump is about 16 inches tall and 18 to 24 inches wide. At peak bloom dark purple flowers crowd the well-branched scapes.
Growing it with lavender
Its deep purple flowers echo lavender's hue on a larger scale in the same sunny, well-drained bed.
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. Snap off faded flowers for a tidy look, cut bare scapes to the base after bloom and divide crowded clumps every few years.

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.

Don’t give up on it
Is it alive? What spring looks like
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.
Spring
Clean up old leaves; feed lightly.
Summer
Deadhead; water during bloom.
Fall
Divide or plant; cut back after frost.
Winter
Light mulch for evergreen types.
Watering
First season: Water deeply once or twice a week for the first month, then weekly in dry weather.
After that: Drought tolerant, but water during bloom and dry spells for more flowers.
Feeding
A balanced fertilizer or compost in early spring. Too much nitrogen means lots of leaves and fewer flowers.
Pruning & deadheading
Snap off spent flowers daily for neatness. Cut flower stalks at the base after bloom. Remove leaves after frost or in early spring.
Dividing
Every 3–5 years when blooms drop; divide in early spring or after bloom.
Winter
Dormant types are hardy across Michigan. Evergreen and semi-evergreen types benefit from a light winter mulch in zones 5 and colder.
Summer heat
Excellent heat tolerance. Water during droughts to keep buds from aborting.
Lots of leaves, few flowers
Likely cause: Too much shade, planted too deep, or crowded
What to do: Raise the crown to 1 inch deep, divide, or move to more sun.
Flower buds eaten overnight
Likely cause: Deer
What to do: Use repellent or fencing; deer love daylily buds.
Yellow-streaked leaves
Likely cause: Leaf streak or late-season decline
What to do: Remove affected leaves; water at the base.
Orange powder on leaves
Likely cause: Daylily rust
What to do: Cut off affected leaves and trash them; improve airflow.
Too wet or too dry?
Buds that shrivel or drop mean too dry. Yellow, mushy fans mean too wet.
Watch for
Daylily rust (orange spots)
Thrips and aphids
Leaf streak
Daylily gall midge (swollen buds that don't open)
Pets & wildlife
ASPCA: daylilies are highly toxic to cats; even small amounts can cause kidney failure. Not considered toxic to dogs. Keep cats away and call a vet at once if chewed.
Deer: susceptible · Rabbits: somewhat resistant

In a container
Good in pots · 3 gallon+
Compact types do well in pots. Overwinter pots in an unheated garage in cold zones.
Indoors
Outdoor plant
Needs full sun outdoors.
Winter chill
Best after a cold winter
Dormant types need a cold winter to bloom well; evergreen types need little or no chilling.
Growing it on
Dormant bare root, soaked and planted
Or a 1–2 gallon pot if the ground isn’t ready
Garden bed or a 3 gallon pot
Time to move up? Slide the plant out: if white roots wrap the outside of the soil, it’s ready for the next size.
Planting with lavender
Plant it near your lavender
Grows near lavender in the same sunny area, but daylilies like a bit more water and richer soil. Plant them in a neighboring bed or a moister edge.
