4 inches is really not that small. More of the range of whats often called pony sized flowers, so there would be an aweful lot to choose from.

I would say JOLLY GOOD FELLOW, by Don Herr, ON LINE by Don Herr (should rebloom), G WILLIKERS by Melanie Mason and some in the catagory of golden oldies like BLACK EYED STELLA, HAPPY RETURNS and such.

I'm pretty sure all of these are under 4"

Thanks, anymore?

New this year, but I've been impressed with -

LIL' RED WAGON (every flower has been perfect)

AWESOME CANDY (nice combo with LRW)

Although small, they both pack a lot of punch.

Lil Red Wagon looks wonderful!

I also like Colorado Moon Fire and Broadway Pink Slippers! Added those to my list.

I am not really that fond of mini's but I have a few. I like S Merle Kent and Bumble Bee. I have Itty Bitty Gal that someone sent me but I think it isn't going to hang around very long. It's a dbl but did not show me anything else. Ummm, I love Black Spot..Radient Ruffles.

I don't have many mini's but I love Little Wart which is a Lavender,and Pardon Me,a nice red. and I have a bunch of Stella's,which I plan to share some of them with a young daughter soon.They have gotten so thick they didn't bloom as good this year,and she don't have no flowers,other then some glads I gave her and a Fairy rose bush.

If you go to Tinkers Daylily Database (www.db.tinkersgardens.com) and click on "custom query" , then enter this in the search box that comes up:

diam>2 and diamyou'll get a whole lot of pages of daylilies you could browse thru.

An old one, but Little Audrey blooms heavily for a long time for me.

Stellas Ruffled Fingers and Early and Often, both small flowers (and small folliage) but great bloomers.

I second Rita on JOLLY GOOD FELLOW even though it's listed at 4.25". I've had that one for two or three years now, and it continues to be one of my very favorite daylilies. Every time someone asks about favs or top 10's or whatever, I list that one as one of mine. For one thing, it blooms its head off. For another, very fertile. But regardless, it's just plain gorgeous.

Another smaller one I like very much is QUITE AN EYEFUL, a 2005 Darrel Apps dip. Don't judge it by the few images you can find online, as the colors in them are VERY inaccurate. What you'll see is a muddy mauvy thing when in fact, it's a lovely pink with a purply sometimes almost blue eye. I still recall the second bloom on my then-new-to-me plant -- the eye was as close to blue as you could imagine.

I'm an oddball in that I love tiny flowers on disproportionately tall scapes. Probaby not what you had in mind when you asked the question, but just for fun, take a look at Darrel Apps's Fresh Air Kids - daylilies from his FRESH AIR. I have, for example, JUSTIN GEORGE, a 2" flower on a 34" scape. BITTERSWEET HONEY, by Andre Viette, has a similar look. Another of my favs is CULTURE SHOCK, by Piotrowski (who has some lovely, not-too-widely grown daylilies). This orange-yellow diploid is along the lines of the Fresh Air stuff....a 3.5" bloom on a 36" scape.

Another Apps intro comes to mind - his LAVENDER MINUTIA, with 3.5" flower and scape height = 32". I have had mine in a pot, and there, it is too top branched, too stingy with branching, and too slow growing. But I forgive it those faults because it is a lovely true lavender (to my eyes at least.) Perhaps it will do better once it gets it self into the ground.

I love PONY and Little Fat Cat, both older ones but I wouldn't get rid of them for anything!

I was just going to post after reading about JOLLY GOOD FELLOW above that, no it can't be 4.25 inches as mine blooms smaller. But I thought I had better go check before sticking my foot in my mouth and sure enough, I measured and it is 4.25. It just looks smaller to me.

I bought this one after reading rave reviews about it last year here on the forum about how its a great bloomer and garden preformer. Can't remember who it was that posted the raves but sounds like it was lynxe.

So, Rita, do you like it? Seeing as how it was me who raved, I sure hope so LOL. Interestingly, my JGF is blooming a pale shade this year. Not sure why.

I haven't seen Spacecoast Tiny Perfection mentioned it has lots of flowers and it stands up to it's name tiny percfection. STP does very well here in zone four from it's very first year in my garden. I highly recommend STP!

Can't really say too much about JOLLY GOOD FELLOW here as its new and just started blooming. Its a pretty flower but I think would look great in a big clump. Today was the second bloom. I think though that I will like all the Don Herr daylilies I bought as I was looking for solid garden preforming flowers and I should have that.

ON LINE, another Don Herr daylily I have, has been blooming away and I am very pleased with it.

Okay, I KNOW you didn't just recommend a $100 DL to me!
I just looked up Jolly Good Fellow and it's $100! YIKES!

Opps! Sorry, I could have sworn it was one of his inexpensive ones but I guess I was wrong.
