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]
