Daylily - Stout Medal Winners

The Stout Silver Medal is the highest award given by the American Hemerocallis Society (AHS). It was established in memory of Dr. Arlow Burdette Stout, who is considered to be the father of modern daylily breeding in North America. It was the first award category established by AHS and is given annually. As a result, the garden displays nearly 50 years of the most significant advances in daylily breeding. This award--as voted by AHS judges--can only be given to a cultivar that has received the Award of Merit in the three years prior.
