I really enjoy my North Wind Dancer, but it is too bad the scapes are so weak. Every year I have to tie strings around them to a pole to make them stand up. Others I know have the same problem. In this light, I'm surprised it won the Stout. It does, however, have everything else going for it: bud count, height, great blooms, etc.

North Wind Dancer just won the AHS Stout Medal for this year!

The Stout Medal is the highest award any Daylily can win! I'm so happy and excited! I've had NWD since Gary Schaben introduced it in 2001! Very beautiful flower all over and at all times! I love it!
