I’m doing a garden design for clients for whom money is not an issue, so it’s a chance for me to show off a bit. The tree peonies I put in 20 years ago are literally traffic stoppers; they kind of set the standard for the rest of the garden. This year i want to find them some truly spectacular hems, but my trusted sources have disappeared over the years. Klehm, my go to for peonies and hems, closed during the pandemic after like 50 years.

Do any of you SDMB gardeners have recommendations for a trustworthy source for high quality hems? I heard there was a Minnesota nursery that specializes in iris ad hems but i can’t seem to search it out.

Thanks in advance!

Oakes Daylilies in Tennessee has a good reputation (see Garden Watchdog reviews).

I haven’t dealt with them, as daylilies are not my thing.

Some of their hybrids sound perfect for a designer Anxiety Garden - “Panic Mode”, “Don’t Touch That” and “Gasping For Breath”.
