 supposedly topping out at 18", is easily 24" or more and has been since 4 
 years old. Both are in amended clay and only watered when I remember in very

Hem PW is quite small here.  The foliage is about eight inches with flowers 
about twelve.  Stella grows on the compost for me and becomes quite high in 
rainy years.  Stella needs annual division if planted in good soil so is a 
bit of trouble while still being the best rebloomer.

If anyone else has a source of very small daylilies, let us know.  Arrowhead 
Alpines listed 'Tweety'  and  'Martin's Dwarfs' in past years.  These would 
have been around 10 to `12 inches.  We will have to send Dean up there to 
scrounge about and find these cultivars.  I know more exist as I saw them in 
the rock garden at Kew in London.
