The nursery who sold us our first plant of this petite daylily in 1992, Montrose Nursery in Hillsborough, North Carolina, is no longer offering plants by mail-order. It is one of several fine nurseries from the 1980's and 90's that we happily remember. To quote their catalog, “we are delighted to be able to offer this charming daylily. It is an old cultivar, small enough to be suitable for a rock garden with scapes only 1' or less. It blooms very early in mid-spring and then again in the fall with yellow, fragrant flowers.” USDA Zones 3 - 10.
