Mynell's Starfish is awesome and it was definitely NOT a slow to take off variety in my garden. Bought my first 3 plants in 2014, divided in 2018 and again just last week - and replanted 22 scapes! It is also a blooming machine. It's short but the blooms are huge - and fragrant - so it is right by my front door. I have over 300 daylilies and Mynell's is in my top 10!

A hardy but slow to establish giant ivory-cream variant. Its form is like a wide, ripply-edged "starfish". The flower always opens flat to show off their awesome size to great effect, yet the color is so refined and subtle. A variant to plant below or around the taller spiders or spider variants!! Or try it in a container for the patio where its large, fragrant flowers can be viewed up close. Low bud count and unfortunately not very willing to bloom, this one may appreciate a bit more feeding to get it going. Beautiful wide and ripply-wave edged deep green foliage. Good increase.

Mynelle's Starfish blooms very well for me planted in a clay soil bed next to a permeable patio. It came from a fellow Iowan, and obviously enjoys the weather here in the "difficult midwest."

I really like the bloom on this, but I wasn't all that impressed, overall, this first year. It should be said that most of my plants this year are shorter than they were last year and I'm not entirely certain why, but Mynelle's Starfish was VERY short...maybe 4" tall, and sat tucked away in the foliage so that it was difficult to know when it was blooming. I think it had a total of 2-3 blooms this first year. It didn't set a pod on the bloom I pollinated, but that isn't much to go on.
Edited to add: I'm hoping that, in a new location this year, she will multiply and bloom a little better, but I don't think I could ever get rid of Mynelle's Starfish, I just love the bloom too much. What a big bloom on such a little flower, and what a unique shape! Mynelle's Starfish is definitely pollen fertile and I look forward to seeing some babies out of it that have just-above-leaf-height scapes with the same exact shape of blooms.
