When Can I Order Daylilies and Irises from Decadent Daylilies Nursery?

Updated

Daylilies can be ordered from May to November, and Louisiana irises from March to October. Orders are placed through the online catalogue on decadentdaylilies.com, and the nursery posts to all Australian states and territories. If you want a specific variety, check the catalogue during its sale window rather than assuming it is available year-round.

Ordering windows at a glance

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

These windows come from the nursery's own site information. Outside them, the relevant plants are not listed as available to order, so a cart or catalogue entry you remember from earlier in the year may no longer be purchasable.

How ordering works

  1. Go to the online catalogue on the site.
  2. Browse by plant group: daylilies, bearded iris, Louisiana iris, or perennial plants.
  3. Add the varieties you want to your items list.
  4. Complete the order through the online shop.

New varieties are listed as they become available, so the catalogue is not static — varieties can appear partway through a season. If a plant you want is not showing, it may simply not be listed yet.

Delivery and order value

  • The nursery posts to Queensland, South Australia, Western Australia, New South Wales, the Northern Territory, Victoria and Tasmania.

If you have trouble ordering

The site notes that customers who have trouble ordering mail order plants can call 02 60350529 for help. This is worth using if a variety you expect to see is missing, or if the checkout does not behave as expected during a sale window.

Practical points before you order

  • Match your order to the season. If you are planning a spring planting of daylilies, the May–November window covers it; a mid-summer Louisiana iris order sits inside its March–October window.
  • Bearded iris timing is not stated on the page. The site lists bearded iris as a catalogue category but does not give a separate ordering window, so treat the daylily and Louisiana iris dates as the only confirmed ones and check the catalogue for bearded iris availability.
  • Variety availability changes. With over 1,000 daylily varieties grown and new releases added, the exact list shifts. Decide on substitutes in advance if you are ordering for a specific garden plan.
