A step-by-step guide for how to fill in all the right information to register a daylily.
Before you pick a name, use this guide to understand the rules for naming your introductions.
The naming of cultivated plants is controlled in order to provide a functional worldwide system. All taxonomic matters in plants fall under the purview of the International Union of Biological Sciences (IUBS). As cultivated plants, daylilies come under the broad umbrella of the International Society for Horticultural Science (ISHS), which is subsidiary to the IUBS. In 1955, the ISHS appointed the American Hemerocallis Society (AHS) as the International Cultivar Registration Authority (ICRA) for Hemerocallis.
When you are describing your daylily, it’s helpful to know what terms are used to describe the bloom, scape, and over-all plant. Use the Daylily Dictionary to get the best definitions of each term.
