Share your best branched tet that has small blooms (mini would work too) .... the taller the better.

Daylilies classified as small have blooms that measure 3 inches or more but less than 4.5 inches in diameter.

At 2.5", this one would be considered a mini ...

Le Petit Saboteur (Hanson-C., 2003)
height 36in (91cm), bloom 2.5in (6.4cm), season E, Rebloom, Semi-Evergreen, Tetraploid, Fragrant, Purple self above chartreuse throat. ((sdlg × Den of Iniquity) × Duke's Daughter)

Well, if taller is better, 'Spacecoast Tiny Perfection' would not rate high on the list. However, I am not sure I would like very tall daylilies with small blooms (could be wrong) I don't have any. But, glad to see it comes with such a high recommendation being I just ordered it a couple of days ago.

Larry, STP seems perfectly proportioned in my eyes. Kinnebrew certainly named it well.

Well, of course when we're talking about the small ones I cannot have just one favorite -- I have three!

The first two have registered bloom size at 4.5", but the blooms are smaller here, more like 3.75" to 4", so I'm including them anyway.

I like Mix and Match, fancy for a small one!
Agree completely with Le Petit Saboteur and Burning Hot Spot, both are super here. Another one of Curt's I like is Little Bo Peep Diploma (parents are LPS X BHS)


Share a Little is 33", not real tall... but not short either. Has nice branching and is loaded with buds during bloom season.

"Little Bo Peep Diploma" and "Share a Little" were new here last year, lovely photos Char.

Nice small tets seem to be scarce.

Curt Hanson has one that looks interesting in his new catalog. BACHELOR KISSES.....32" scapes with 4 and 5 way branching from CHAOTIC SYMMETRY X SHARE A LITTLE, fertile both ways. No flower size listed, but it HAS to be little coming from a 3" parent unfortunately for me it's most likely an evergreen. (that info is missing too)
