Hemerocallis ‘Gypsy Ballerina’
Description:
Introduced in 1979 by John L. (J. L.) Cruse, Jr. of Woodville, Texas, this daylily grows 24 inches tall with 3.5-inch blooms. It is early-midseason, semi-evergreen, diploid, and rose pink with a rose halo and green throat. Claiming Gypsy heritage, Cruse used the theme in many names. Of his 360+ cultivars, many were small-flowered; seven diploids earned awards. He registered plants throughout the 1980s.
