Delightful dwarf daylilies reward you by blooming twice a year! These outstanding varieties produce mounds of 12-20" tall foliage and bloom on stems up to 24" high. Their compact size makes them ideal in borders and rock gardens. The fact that these profuse bloomers multiply annually makes them even more appealing.

I love these plants. Not like ordinary daylillies that only bloom once or twice. These bloom all summer long and tolerate Oklahoma's rapid weather changes. The blooms are long lasting and never ending. I now have my family and neighbors planting them, and will divide my this year to give to friends.
