<< Hello Paul,
     Thanks for taking the time to send this listing. Couple of questions... 
(you
 knew someone would). Are these sizes quoted from personal growing experience 
in
 your garden/beds? From daylily catalog?
     Have any names for daylilies 9 to 12 inches in height at bloom? Is there 
such
 a thing? >>


Gene, all your questions are good ones, having many times experienced myself 
the reality verses the advertised growth of a particular plant.

I have grown over half of those that were listed and the sizes are consistent 
with the results I have experienced.

All the sizes listed are for the flower height.

I have a flat or two of a daylily that bloomed at 7-8 inches tall in Late 
June, ( I got it two years ago and can't seem to locate the name But I will 
send it out to the list when I do) I like the smaller plants but there has 
not been much of a market here for them. Thus I am putting most of them 
around my own yard this fall.
When I offer them for sale, people just think they are Stella De Oro, which 
is a weak market too.

I like the smaller plants that have full tight clumps. Over the last ten 
years I have offered over 500 varieties and I think I am becoming a jaded. I 
try to stick with two groups of plants, Tetraploids and Miniatures, Lots of 
excellent plants coming on the general market these days. 

What I am hearing is that daylily sales are down all over the country this 
year.
We will see what happens next year.
