This gorgeous little miniature hosta is perfect in a shady rock garden. This is a sport of Baby Bunting with 2 inch heart shaped leaves. It can grow to form a patch given time. The leaves have a thick blue green edge that have creamy yellow centers that fade to white later in the summer. The green can streak into the centers forming interesting patterns. Tiny lavender flowers appear on 6 inch scapes in mid summer

This darling little iris is a native plant hardy in zone 3 to 9. Iris Cristata is commonly called Dwarf Crested Iris.
They are pale blue with gold crested falls and bloom in May here in Wisconsin. They are actually found more commonly further east and south but grow fine in other parts of the country.
They do fine in sun or dappled shade and are tolerant of both wet and dry soil. They will naturalize via shallow rhizomes, kind of like a strawberry. Not bothered by deer and rabbits.
The size of these iris can vary. Some hybrid varieties can be up to 8 inches tall or more. The type that we have here are quite small, about 4 inches, with one inch, blue violet flowers.

This cute miniature has cheerful, trumpet shaped, melon colored blooms that deepen to tangerine near the throat. He is lightly ruffled and the really cool thing is the dark smoky color of the buds.
The plant is 24 inches tall and is a mid season blooming dormant diploid.

Pixie girl has miniature flowers (about 2 inches) on top of tallish scapes at 25 inches, so the clusters of flowers seem to dance 
around in the breeze. They are a bright red/orange. Cute!

This really cute, cream colored to butter yellow miniature has a thin, well defined wine colored eye and a green throat. Every flower is perfectly round with ruffled, recurved petals. And check her out in the sun or moon light to see beautiful diamond dusting.
The plant is 22 inches tall with lots of 3 inch blooms over a long period. The bud count is 40 on 5 branches. She starts early and is a dormant tetraploid which is unusual for one so small.

They don’t come any cuter than Standard Dwarf Bearded (SDB) Iris “Boo”. She doesn’t get any taller than 12 inches. An amoena, which means that the standards are white and the falls are colored. In this case there is a crescent shaped purple spot on the falls with detailed veining and penciling near the beards, which are yellow. This cutie won the award of merit in 1976. They are early bloomers and you may want to get down close to smell the sweet fragrance.

I just love the color of this historic Standard Dwarf Bearded (SDB) Iris. It’s a true sky blue, the ruffled falls and standards are the same color but there is noticeable darker blue veining throughout and a yellow beard for accent. This Iris pumila is about 12 inches tall and is great for the rock garden or front of the border.

This miniature daylily sports 2″ blooms on a plant that only stands 12-18″ tall. A 2002 All American Daylily Selection, this extra-early bloomer will re-bloom heavily. She is a semi-evergreen, diploid with masses of petite blooms that are light yellow with a green throat, above grassy foliage. This daylily is also nocturnal so it is perfect for the moon garden. Another interesting trait is that the flower scapes are dark in color so that in the dark, the flowers seem to float.

This is a mini daylily that stays less than 15 inches. It starts blooming early and keeps blooming with a mass of 3 inch red flowers. These red flowers won’t fade or spot in hot sun. They hold the bright red/orange well and the throat is a very bright gold. Sometimes the edges are also touched in gold. Evergreen; diploid.
