President's Cup Award
Originally a cup, donated by Elmer A. Claar in 1956, this award is now a bronze medal. It is awarded to the hybridizer of the cultivar considered to be the most outstanding of all clumps observed by attendees of the National Convention tour gardens. Registered cultivars of any size and form are eligible. Results are announced at the convention Awards & Honors banquet.
