Nursery contributed plant descriptions

An Intrinsic Introduction - One of the shortest daylilies you'll ever see. The stems are typically 6" tall, which leave the golden flowers sitting right "on top" of the mound of foliage. Some rebloom. Prefers full sun, well drained soil. NOTE: We are breeding with this and should have some more extremely short ones in the future.
