Daylily (Hemerocallis 'Adavier')

'Adavier' is fairly new in our garden. We saw it as a "Best In Show" specimen at a show in Kentucky that we were judging, and had to have it!

We bought it from Steve Williams, the hybridizer. He always shares generous divisions. I'm hoping ours will look like @thegardendeva 's wonderful display soon.

It's a charming and graceful small flower, free-flowering and a pretty clump wherever it's used.

It's hardy here in zone 6a and should be OK anywhere its parents do well. (Corky x Rococo).

It won an HM (Honorable Mention) from the American Hemerocallis Society. This is based on excellent garden performance. That makes it eligible for the next higher award, the Award of Merit. I suppose it will be hard for it to compete for that against the dozens of fancier candidates. Not every flower needs a pattern or fringy teeth or a bizarre form, though.

I really like Adavier, with her clean, light lemon-yellow blooms. I got it as a bonus with an O'Bannon Springs order in 2018. She is pod and pollen fertile. Offers a light instant rebloom on scapes that are taller and even more branched. I wish I had rebloom pics to share, but don't because they would be marred by pods and tags.

Steve Williams notes that Adavier tends to bloom during show season and has multiple blooms open at once, making it a good candidate for exhibition. With fine branching, darker buds, and graceful, crispate blooms on wiry scapes, I can see how it would do well.


And here are pictures that Steve shared, of the original Adavier:

Great review, Justine. Love the pictures.

Thank you for the acorns, Nan and Zoia!

You are welcome.
