One of THE classic mini's which is an indispensable part of any border landscaping plan being a faithful re-blooming variety, compact, weather resistant and colourful. It has even become [in]famous as the subject of my cautionary tale on Daylilies [see plant information page] Happy Returns is a nice shade of soft yellow and is equally at home in pots. Would also make a welcome gift I feel as an introduction to all things Daylily.

Name - Apps 1986
Name - The name of the hybridizer and date of introduction.
Season of flowering - Early-Mid-Late
Season of flowering -
Early usually starts mid-late June.
Mid Season is late June with main flowering through July.
Late season is late July and into August.
Please note flowering period can be affected by positioning and seasonality factors. By selecting varieties with different flowering periods you will get the longest period of bloom.
Bloom size - 3"
Bloom size - The bloom size is measured across the face of the bloom when open flat. It can vary a little according to age of the plant, etc.
Height - 18"
Height - This is an approximate height of the flower stems. The foliage is usually lower.
Foliage type - Dormant
Foliage type -
Dormant means the leaves dies down completely in the winter.
Semi Evergreen varieties maintain some foliage over-winter.
Evergreen varieties may maintain all foliage over the winter. The foliage state can be influenced by the severity or otherwise of the winter period.
It is often said that dormant varieties are the absolute hardiest but all offered varieties have been extensively trialled here and all are hardy.
Ploidy - Diploid
Ploidy - In layman's terms ploidy is the number of chromosomes a variety has. Older varieties are nearly all diploids but modern day breeding techniques resulted in improved tetraploid varieties with three chromosomes. It is difficult to distinguish between them in general plant appearance, although diploids do have ever so slightly narrower foliage. As far as the blooms are concerned tetraploids have flowers with thicker, heavier substance and fuller form and are the very pinnacle of perfection and grandeur. Diploids are not so heavily textured and can be more graceful in appearance. They also tend to open earlier in the day even when it is colder. Diploids will usually grow and increase more quickly.
