Here you’ll find our VERY rarest bulbs along with late finds and others we simply couldn’t squeeze into our print catalog.
Those marked “Web-Only & Rarest” are sometimes in such short supply that they sell out within days — and some years we can’t offer them at all — so if you see one you like, we recommend you order it now!

Last offered in 2020. Tall, tall, TALL – with bloom stalks up to 7 feet! – this remarkable daylily may get you and your garden visitors babbling. Up close its spidery, gold and chestnut flowers are nothing special, but when you see them held high against the sky on their strong, slender stalks – often with hummingbirds flitting about – they’re magic. By A.B. Stout, from the wild H. altissima, 5-7’, late blooming, lightly fragrant, deciduous, 2-3 fans, zones 4a-8b(10aWC), from our own micro-farm. Chart, care, and learn more.

Last offered in 2021. With charming, not-so-big flowers of a lemon yellow that’s both soft and bright, this rarely offered Depression-era beauty mingles easily with other perennials and adds a cooling note to the mid-summer garden.

Stout himself who liked it so well that he named it for Odysseus’s enchantress, the “loveliest of all immortals.” Long-blooming, 32-36”, mid-summer blooming, deciduous, 2-3 fans, zones 4a-8b(9bWC), from our own micro-farm. Chart and care.

Last offered in 2021. The “rich, lustrous, velvety black cherry color” of this old daylily (in the words of the 1949 Schreiner’s catalog) would be great no matter what, but it’s the creamy white line down the center of each petal that makes it so striking and unforgettable. You’ll find yourself drawn to it from across the garden – and looking forward to it every summer. 34-36”, mid-season, dormant, 2 fans, zones 4a-8a(10aWC), from our own micro-farm. Chart and care.

Last offered in 2021. This striking daylily was one of Stout’s first and favorite introductions. Over the years its bold mango-and-mahogany coloring and graceful star-like form have won it many fans, including the great Elizabeth Lawrence who praised it as one of her “15 Best.” Vigorously multiplying and floriferous, it often reblooms in the fall in warm areas. 30-36”, early-mid season, semi-evergreen, 2 fans, zones 4a-8b(10aWC), from our own micro-farm. Chart and care.

Last offered in 2021. We’re thrilled to finally offer this dramatic beauty, after years of building up stock.

Artists may recognize it as the name of the color of the celebrated old rose ‘Paul Neyron’ of 1869. RHS AGM, 30-32”, mid, 2 fans, zones 4a-8a(10aWC), from our own micro-farm. Chart and care.
