There's a serendipity story about this daylily. About nine years ago in August, Ange and I attended the Annual Wisconsin Daylily Sale in Madison. Once inside the big daylily tent we both went our separate ways to find the plants on our list. About half-an-hour later we met up to compare notes. Although not on our wish list, each of us had picked up an 'Adorable Tiger' plant and put it in our individual baskets. So it was unanimous; we had no choice but to bring this beautiful daylily home with us and we have enjoyed it ever since!
Hybridized in 1998 by George Rasmussen from Farmingdale (Long Island), New York, Adorable Tiger is a very showy dormant tetraploid that grows well in Wisconsin. It is 26" tall and has 5" flowers (bud count:16-20). In my garden it bloomed from July 10 through August 10.
