Hmmmm .... bummer. Well, then I should strike that one off my list. I have several that seem to show some pretty good-looking foliage:
Dips:
Siloam Double Classic
Jedi Brenda Spann
Beautiful Edgings
Lady Neva
Gleber's Top Cream
Fol de Rol
Purple Rain Dance
Paige's Pinata
Wild One
Tets:
Chinese Scholar
Mister Lucky
Whooperee
As well as some of my seedlings, which I am quite happy to see! Some of my newest acquired daylilies are too new to evaluate yet, but I will be watching them closely to see which ones might be showing rust and leaf streak resistance.
Those resistant will be my top breeders. Breed with each other and other cultivars to create children with healthy looking foliage!
Now this is not to say that these cultivars might not develop issues at a later date. But right now, they are looking pretty decent as far as rust and leaf streak are concerned. That is a dozen cultivars out of over 70. Of the others, many are indeed showing some resistance, but not as good as I had hoped. I am dreaming of rust resistant 1.0 cultivars and seedlings.
