General Listing

The following are cultivars introduced by other hybridizers. The prices are listed per division, usually 3-5 fans. The notations after the hybridizers’ names indicate awards received. HM = Honorable Mention, AM = Award of Merit, SSM = Stout Silver Medal (the highest award possible in the daylily world). The photos are taken by me, in my garden. Most of them have lived here, unpampered, for at least 4 years and many have been used in my hybridizing program. It may seem disloyal to move them out once I’ve gleaned their genetics, but space is at a premium here at the prairie’s edge.
