What is Decadent Daylilies Nursery?

Updated

Decadent Daylilies Nursery is an online mail-order plant nursery based in New South Wales, Australia, that grows and sells daylilies, bearded irises, Louisiana irises and other perennials. It ships to all Australian states and territories, and it is the right starting point if you are an Australian home gardener looking to buy named daylily or iris varieties by mail rather than shopping in person.

What the nursery sells

The catalogue is built around a few plant groups:

  • Daylilies — the core of the business, with over 1,000 different varieties grown for sale, including modern hybrids, heirloom daylilies and many latest registered Australian daylilies.
  • Bearded iris — including new releases introduced from top breeders in the USA.
  • Louisiana iris — listed with new varieties added over time.
  • Perennial plants — a smaller general category alongside the iris and daylily lines.

Because the range is variety-led rather than a general garden centre, the practical approach is to browse the photos or the online catalogue first, then buy the specific varieties that are listed as available.

Where it ships and who it is for

The nursery posts to every Australian state and territory: Queensland, South Australia, Western Australia, New South Wales, the Northern Territory, Victoria and Tasmania. It explicitly welcomes customers 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 you are outside Australia, nothing on the site indicates that it ships internationally, so treat it as an Australia-only mail-order nursery.

Seasonal ordering windows

Availability is not year-round, and this is the detail most likely to trip up a first-time buyer:

Plant group Ordering window
Daylilies May to November
Louisiana iris March to October

Bearded iris and perennial listings appear alongside these, with new varieties added as they become available. If you want a specific variety, check the catalogue within the relevant window rather than assuming it can be ordered at any time of year.

Shipping cost and how to order

  • Orders over $50 qualify for free postage.
  • Plants are ordered through the online shop, either by browsing photos or the catalogue.
  • If the mail-order process causes trouble, the nursery lists a phone number for ordering help: 02 60350529.

The site describes the nursery as grower and supplier of quality daylilies, irises and perennials at competitive prices, so pricing is set per variety in the shop rather than as a flat rate.

What else is on the site

Beyond the shop, the site carries growing articles for the plants it sells, including pieces on cannas (Canna lilies), planting and growing bearded iris, and how to grow large LA iris rhizomes. These are useful if you are deciding between plant groups or want care guidance before ordering.

Quick decision guide

  • Choose this nursery if you are in Australia, want specific named daylily or iris varieties by mail, and can order within the May–November (daylily) or March–October (Louisiana iris) windows.
  • Look elsewhere if you need plants shipped outside Australia, want year-round ordering of any variety, or prefer to inspect plants in person before buying.
