One of our goals is to maintain a varied selection that is representative of the wide range of colors, sizes, shapes, and patterns available in modern daylilies -- not just the big, round, ruffled pretty faces! The miniature and small-flowered varieties listed below are excellent choices for the front of the border and for the smaller garden. The Donn Fisher Medal (DFM) is the highest award voted by the judges of the American Hemerocallis Society for a miniature daylily (under 3"); the Annie T. Giles (ATG) award is the highest award for small daylilies (3-4" flowers). Small/minis are also eligible for the Honorable Mention (HM), Award of Merit (AM) and Stout Medal. Varieties holding the highest awards are believed to be the best examples of daylilies in this class, and are highly recommended to new daylily growers. *Tetraploids are indicated by an asterisk.
