The ‘Iddy Biddy Gal’ daylily (Hemerocallis ) is an award-winning miniature daylily hybrid celebrated for its exceptionally small, double-layered coral-pink blossoms and prolific flowering habit . It was hybridized by Guy Stamile and registered in 2007, subsequently winning the prestigious Donn Fischer Memorial Award from the American Daylily Society for the best miniature flowering daylily.

Key Characteristics
- Flower Size & Type: Miniature bloom (around 2.5 to 3 inches in diameter), featuring a double coral-pink blend, a lighter edge, and a contrasting green throat. [1, 2]
- Plant Height: Compact scapes (flower stalks) typically reach 10 to 12 inches tall. [1, 2, 3]
- Foliage: Evergreen in mild climates, making it a reliable and long-blooming addition to warmer gardens, though it is hardy across a wide range of zones. [1, 2, 3, 4]
- Bloom Season: Flowers early to late in the season, often producing repeat blooms (rebloomer). [1, 2]
Care & Cultivation Tips
- Light: Thrives in Full Sun to Partial Shade (at least 6 hours of direct sunlight daily for optimal blooming).
- Soil: Adapts to a wide variety of soils but performs best in well-draining, nutrient-rich garden soil amended with organic matter like Compost .
- Water: Requires regular watering during the first 3 weeks to establish roots. Once established, it prefers deep watering once a week during dry periods.
- Uses: Perfect for bordering garden paths, as a pop of color in mixed perennial beds, or as a dense container plant for patios. The petite blossoms are even edible and sometimes used to garnish summer salads. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
