I won't separate Tets from Dips because I seem to have acquired more tets then dips in my purchases so naturally more tets would be on any list I chose to show. Plus, what Ed says makes sense to me. The daylilies below, unlike many of my others, were in among the heavy rusters for a minimum of a month or two with foliage overlaping and touching. They were right in the thick of things so to speak and never got so much as a speck of rust before I moved them (more or less) out of harms way (given our wind situation in Oklahoma there's really very few places that would be totally away from the prevailing winds). I grow most of these in pots and I did not spray:

100% Clean foliage:

-Bahama Butterscotch (Salter)
-Citrix (new this year. This Stamile surprised the heck out of me because quite a few of the other Stamile's
surrounding it rusted badly).
-Cluster Muster (Joiner)
-Coral Corduroy (an older Carpenter)
-Dutch Yellow Truffle (Kirchhoff)
-Linda Beck (Agin)
-Sour Puss (Shooter)
-Witches Wink (Salter)
-Yesterday Memories (an older daylily by Spalding)

*Honorable Mention:
They had less then a dozen spots on them. When the spotted leaves were removed in mid spring, rust never returned:
*Coral Majority (Norris)
*Frequent Comment (Rice)


Sorry to report that as Ed said, Victorian Lace is a notorious Ruster in my area. From what I've been told it passes its lack of resistance on to its progeny also..........Maryl
