Oakes Daylilies Wineberry Candy Daylily

Dormant daylilies lose their foliage completely in the winter and go into a resting phase. This makes them ideal for gardeners in colder climates (USDA zones 2-8) where they require a period of winter cold to properly reset and bloom again the following season.

Since this variety reaches a height of 22 inches, it is best to space them about 18 to 24 inches apart. This allows enough room for the plants to spread and ensures proper airflow, which helps prevent foliage diseases.

The Wineberry Candy is classified as an early-to-mid-season bloomer. While it provides a reliable, high-performing display during that window, it is not a repeat bloomer, so you can expect one strong, concentrated show of color.

While it thrives in full sun, which encourages the most vibrant color and flower production, it can also handle partial shade. If you live in a very hot climate, planting it where it receives afternoon shade can actually help protect the blooms.

A 'fan' refers to the individual shoot or cluster of leaves that grows from the root system. A 3-fan minimum ensures you receive a robust, mature plant that is ready to establish itself quickly and bloom sooner than a smaller, single-fan division.

Yes, this variety is specifically noted for having a strong fragrance. If you plant it near a patio, walkway, or seating area, you will be able to enjoy the scent whenever you are outdoors during its bloom season.
