Most gardeners would be surprised to learn that there are about 60,000 registered daylilies.
While no one garden could possibly grow them all, the daylily collection at the U.S. National
Arboretum contains a little more than 1,000 daylilies. In our collection, we maintain the
germplasm of 100 years of breeding, which allows us to research and display most of the
varied characteristics available in daylilies.
Towards this goal, the U.S. National Arboretum has collected numerous award winning daylilies.
The American Hemerocallis Society has various award categories to recognize the most outstanding
daylilies. These daylilies have withstood the test of time, and have proven themselves the
best among the many thousands that are available.
We are proud to present this Photo Gallery illustrating over 150 Award Winning Daylilies grown
here on the Arboretum grounds. To assist you in locating your favorite daylily flower we have
listed the daylily images in three different groups: alphabetically by cultivar name, by flower
color, and by their respective award. The main category links are found below (and, for your
convenience, on every gallery page). Clicking on any thumbnail image will take you to a full
image page of that daylily. For example, click on the image to the right.
Whether you're looking for your favorite daylily or just perusing the beautiful images, we hope you
enjoy your visit to our Photo Gallery Collection of Award Winning Daylilies. If you are planning a
trip to the Arboretum specifically to see the daylilies, they are usually at their peak from late
June to early August.
