A-G H-R Q-Z
If you are not familiar with Daylily terms and shorthand, please see the information below.
HOW TO READ THE CULTIVAR LISTING
The Cultivar name is followed by the Price and any Codes associated with it. The Description (for the most part, the descriptions and statistics are as registered with the AHS by the hybridizers - variances at RLG are noted) comes next, then the Height (in inches) of the scape, the Foliage type, the Diameter of the flower, its Bloom season as registered by the hybridizer. The Hybridizer's name is followed by the Year it was Registered.
