I have a question that I have wondered about for years (since I started growing daylilies). I hope some gardeners here will be kind enough to add their opinions/knowledge. Thanks in advance!
Is this an individual gardener/grower preference or are there certain characteristics of a bloom that make it stand out from others? I grow a lot of daylily hybrids but I do not know much about what is considered a "winner".
I don't have "named" daylilies. All of my daylilies were grown from seeds which grew to be No Name hybrids. I received most of my seeds in trades or as a gift for postage by some very generous folks and from those seeds I've been blessed with what I think are some really beautiful blooms. But I honestly don't know what makes a bloom/plant desirable.
What characteristics do judges look for annually in a hybrid?
