How to Browse and Buy Plants on the Decadent Daylilies Website
Updated
Decadent Daylilies Nursery is an online mail-order nursery based in New South Wales, Australia, and you browse and buy through its Online Catalogue and online shop rather than a physical storefront. You can look through photos of daylilies, bearded iris, Louisiana iris and perennials, then order the varieties that are currently listed for sale. Two timing rules matter before you start: daylily plants can be ordered from May to November, and Louisiana iris is for sale between March and October.
Start With the Online Catalogue
The catalogue is the main entry point for seeing what the nursery grows and sells. From there you can:
- Browse photos of daylilies, bearded iris, Louisiana iris and perennial plants.
- Look through the range of modern hybrids and heirloom daylilies and irises.
- Check which varieties are currently available, since plants are listed for sale as they become available.
The nursery grows over 1,000 different daylily varieties, along with a substantial collection of bearded iris, including newer releases introduced from top breeders in the USA. Because availability changes through the season, treat the catalogue as the current source of truth rather than a fixed product list.
Buy Through the Online Shop
Purchases are made through the online shop, where varieties appear as they become available for sale. When you place an order, the "Your Items" section is where your selected plants are collected, so check it before completing your order to confirm you have the varieties and quantities you intended.
If you have trouble ordering mail-order plants, the nursery invites you to call 02 60350529 for help — useful if an item won't add to your order or you're unsure which variety to choose.
Check the Ordering Windows Before You Shop
| Plant type | Ordering window |
|---|---|
| Daylilies | May to November |
| Louisiana iris | March to October |
Bearded iris and perennial plants also appear in the catalogue, but the page evidence gives explicit sale windows only for daylilies and Louisiana iris. If you're shopping outside those windows, expect those specific categories not to be orderable.
Shipping and Cost Conditions
- The nursery posts to all states of Australia: Queensland, South Australia, Western Australia, New South Wales, the Northern Territory, Victoria and Tasmania.
- Free postage applies to orders over $50.
- Customers are welcomed from metropolitan areas, major regional centres and cities including Perth, Hobart, Melbourne, Geelong, Canberra, Sydney, Newcastle, Wollongong, Adelaide, Brisbane, the Gold Coast and the Sunshine Coast.
If your order total sits near the $50 threshold, it's worth checking whether adding another variety brings you over it, since that changes what you pay for delivery.
Practical Tips for a Smooth Order
- Confirm the season first. If you want daylilies, shop between May and November; for Louisiana iris, shop between March and October.
- Browse before you buy. Use the photo galleries to compare varieties, then move to the shop for the ones listed as available.
- Review "Your Items" before checkout. This is where your selections are held, so it's your last check on varieties and quantities.
- Call if ordering fails. The nursery offers phone support on 02 60350529 for mail-order problems.
- Watch for new listings. The nursery notes that more new varieties are listed over time, so a variety missing today may appear later in the season.
What This Site Is and Isn't
Decadent Daylilies is a grower and supplier operating as an online mail-order nursery from New South Wales — not a walk-in retail shop. That means your entire path from browsing to buying happens on the website, with phone help available if the online ordering process gives you trouble. The site also publishes growing articles, including pieces on cannas, planting and growing bearded iris, and growing large LA iris rhizomes, which can help you plan before you order.
