A vigorous grower with a heavy set of buds, producing perfectly shaped round flowers with re-curved petals. They are cherry red with a large fuchsia eye zone. The golden throat sends out a gold ray along the mid rib. Dormant, diploid.

Height 15” with 3 ½ inch blooms; zone 4.
This miniature daylily is small in stature as well as having lots of cute small flowers. The substance of the blooms is very heavy. These won’t melt after a rain and they don’t get spots on them from water either. They just hold and hold their rich velvety color.
Rich true red blooms are slightly fragrant.
Semi-evergreen; tetraploid.
Note: This plant was originally given to us as Little Red Corvette or possibly Red Corvette and thanks to an astute customer we see that those cultivars should be larger with larger flowers. For now we are selling it as an unknown. I have contacted the original source to see if we can pin down the identity.

Daylily Little Peanut
This miniature daylily grows to only 15” with many, many 2 1/2” blooms. It is just too cute. A semi-evergreen diploid; it starts early and extends its bloom into the mid-season. The color is unusual and difficult to explain. I would call it a rusty red orange with some streaking and a purple halo, but please see the picture. There is a thick cream colored to yellow edge that is a little ruffled and a yellow throat. It has such a heavy substance that the flowers last long into the night and many times for two days. Because of this it is classified as nocturnal.

An extra early re-blooming miniature, it is yellow with a very dark maroon eye zone.
This one is way too cute! Even if your garden is tiny you can find room for it. Dormant, Diploid.

This 18” miniature daylily has larger flowers for a miniature at about 3”. They are very dark red/purple with a glowing golden eye and a slightly ruffled edge. This color is hard to capture in a photograph and I would say that it is a little darker than shown here. It is an evergreen diploid so it does grow a little slower than the dormant daylilies here in the north but has survived many years and the foliage looks fine here in Wisconsin.

Knickknack is truly the miniature daylily to beat all miniatures. At only 14 inches it is just covered with masses of tiny 1 ½ to 2 inch blooms. It starts blooming early and it just keeps going until frost. It is an orange-gold, Semi-Evergreen, Diploid, with a green throat. The parentage is (Tropical Sherbet × Munchkin Moon). It is quick growing and hardy. Sometimes the flowers don’t open all the way until afternoon, especially in cold weather, but they have such heavy substance that they are usually still good the second day. It also sets pods easily. I can’t wait to see what the seedlings look like.

Daylily Katherine Harris
Katherine Harris is a tall beauty at 34”; an unusual form spider type it also has quite large flowers at 7”. She is a mid-season bloomer that is a semi-evergreen diploid. Branching and bud count are good and there is a bonus…fragrance. The tangerine gold blend with some streaking is eye-catching but never screams. The mid ribs and throat are also gold blending to chartreuse deep in the center. The orange stamens seem extra-long to me and are tipped in black.
