At 5 Acre Farm Daylilies, we believe daylilies are more than beautiful blooms—they are memories, experiences, traditions, friendships, and stories rooted in the people who grow them, those who hybridized them and the ancestors who put work into them becoming what they are today.
Here on the farm, we are celebrating the people and stories that make daylilies so personal, and we would love your input. Whether you are a longtime daylily grower, a dedicated fan, a hybridizer, an amateur just getting started, or someone with only a little experience, your story matters to us. We are looking for customer experiences, heartfelt testimonials, memories from visits to our farm, stories about your own daylily journey, history you may have with hybridizing, or any other special connection you have to the daylily world.
Whether your story is about a favorite flower, a meaningful garden moment, a family connection, a hybridizing project, lessons learned as a beginner, or simply the joy daylilies have brought into your life, we invite you to share it with us. You do not need to be an expert—if daylilies have been part of your story, we want to hear from you.
Selected submissions may be used later this year in future blog posts for The Stories Behind the Sepals, newsletter articles in A Pocketful of 5 Acres, and related posts across our social media, blog, and newsletter. We also may hold stories to use another year. By sending us your submission, you are giving 5 Acre Farm Daylilies permission to use the information provided for these purposes.
Please e-mail your submissions and stories to 5acreorders@gmail.com. We cannot wait to read the experiences, memories, and daylily stories you choose to share.
With gratitude,
Aaron Slayton

2026 Remote Shipping Orders: We are open for remote shipping orders for 2026. The catalogue on our website is a working-proress and for that we apologize.
Thank you for your patience and understanding as we rebuild our online daylily catalog. After losing access to our previous website and the cultivar photo database associated with it, we have had to start over in creating an accurate collection of images for our listings. Because it is important to us to represent each daylily honestly and legally, we cannot use photos from other sources unless we have permission and proper identification. That means we are now retaking photographs of each cultivar here on our farm during its natural bloom season, which gives us only a short window each summer to capture them all, and we simply were not prepared to do so last year, given the circumstances. We also tried gathering customer-submitted photos through a contest, but many images could not be used because the cultivar names were missing or unclear. We truly appreciate your support as we work through this process and update our catalog as quickly and carefully as we can. We will have a full database and cost uploaded by June 1st and the daylilies can be looked up online to see what they look like, but we won't have photos until the cultivars bloom this year and we upload them, respectivly.
When do we take Orders:
Early/SPRING SHIPPING
Approximate Dates We Start Shipping by USDA Hardiness Zone –
We ship anywhere in the United States during the months of June and July.
In late summer we do stop shipping to Zones 2-4 because we would be competing with the cold and the plants might not be viable.
We ship during the month of August to Zones 5-10 only. Only while we still have foilage.
We do not currently take orders thru our site directly (online orders). We do, however, offer Remote Orders, meaning that you call or e-mail us an order. Alternatively, you can put in an order on the website. It will submit the order to us, but it will not allow payment processing, so we will then reach out to you to ring the order up remotely. Orders are processed over the weekend, during retail hours. We will check e-mails and return calls and accept payment during our weekend business hours. Sometimes we will choose to process orders during the week, but that depends on how busy our week is. We dig the daylilies during the week and we will ship out the following Monday or set up a date during the week. We will contact you to process payment. Once we do, we can discuss what we have in stock and we will schedule a date for pick up or if we are shipping to you, then you will be contacted upon shipping with a tracking number for the order as well as an ETA.
