This is a question that I have been wondering about for some time now. Maybe there is another thread somewhere that addresses my question. (If so, could someone be so kind as to share the link?)

I grow a lot of daylilies ... some are registered but most are seedlings. I see all kinds of foliage on my different plants. What is the preferred foliage for a noteworthy daylily plant? What would be considered registration or a "winning" foliage look? Or is there no preference? For me, my first priority is rust resistance, but after that, I am now looking at how the foliage grows and displays on each plant.

Here are just a few of the different foliage clumps in my garden. I am sure there are more that others here have photos of.

Which is preferred and which is not a good foliage growth/look?
