Daylily (Hemerocallis 'Gypsy Ballerina')

I love GB. I have it in a section of my garden that is all mini's .

While it is probably on the upper edge of a mini, mine tend to be on the smaller side of the 3.5in flower. The scape height isn't exactly as tall as the registered 24 inch.

It bloomed for me on Jun 29 last year and July 7 this year. It may have been a little later this year due to a late May transplanting to a new home.

Gypsy Ballerina has bloomed very well in my garden. I have it in my mini/small DL bed and it is among the best performers. It always blooms on taller scapes than the 24" registered height. Mine blooms at 29-33". It blooms for a couple of months.
Easy pod and pollen fertile and I have several seeds and seedlings to bloom in the future. I use it because of buds, branching, and it blooms taller than most miniatures.
