The Siloams range all over the place in height and flower size. Just
how tiny are you looking for?
HEE HEE height 24", but usually closer to 16" and 2" flower
SKIATOOK CARDINAL 28", but that includes scape height and 1.5" flower
OLALLIE LASS 18", 2" flower
I forgot to add LITTLE WILD FLOWER 16" tall 1.5" coral double. and
APRICOT ( the first registered hem) is a dainty thing too - 20" and
small flower too. I do have others; I love the tiny ones - there is a
newer hybridizer who has a whole line of tall and smalls - 40+ inch
scapes with 2-3 flowers.

no way! GRIN - though I am buying fewer new ones and getting lots of
new perennials.
Since you are/were and HADS member, I'll bet you know Melanie Mason!

I want to add more of the species to my garden - which ones are you
growing and why. I do want add H.citrina - the scent is heavenly.
