Maps are something that I've
finally learned to do for my seedlings, after too many years of broken, faded, or carried-off-by-critter plastic labels. (I've also recently moved to impressionable copper stakes. They are more expensive than plastic labels, but even if the garden marker fades, the impression is still there and readable, and the stakes can't get brittle, or broken, or carried off.)
My term for today is
Miniatures, which is amusing since I am not really a fan of minis. Truly. The only one I currently have in the garden is an old red one, 'Cranberry Baby', which ironically is also supposedly highly rust susceptible. (I don't think that I have ever seen rust on it before, though that might change this year.)
As I said, I am not really a fan of minis; I like my daylilies much taller and with large flowers. I can see that they may be valuable in smaller gardens though, or even have a role to play in larger gardens, in just the right spot. I have seen some nice ones on tour; I still remember seeing 'Broadway Valentine' in a Regional tour garden many years ago.
With all of that in mind, and coincident with my current search for rust resistant daylilies, I asked for 'Spacecoast Tiny Perfection' as a bonus plant on an order this year. The flower is pretty and the plant is rust resistant; I'm sure I can find a spot for it somewhere, even if only in a patio pot.
