'YELLOW TINKERBELLE' 



(from Greenhouse Manager, 

 February, 1992) 



A new dwarf hemerocallis called 

 'Yellow Tinkerbelle' has been de- 

 veloped by the US Department of 

 Agriculture for use both as a pe- 

 rennial landscape border plant 

 and a potted plant. 



Its height — only nine inches — 

 is the result of research to further 



miniaturize the dwarf daylily. 

 Popular dwarf cultivars generally 

 reach a flowering height of 28 

 inches. 



'Yellow Tinkerbelle' has bright 

 yellow 2 1/2 inch flowers on 9- 

 inch stems, with about seven 

 flowers per stem. It will flower in 

 a 4-inch pot in eight weeks with 

 fewer than 12 hours of light daily 

 and at temperatures as low as 41 



degrees F. The new plant as sur- 

 vived temperatures as low as 15 

 degrees F.
