Herrington Daylily Garden

Dear Daylily Friends,
It is certainly an honor to connect with you through this 2023 website. Our daylilies have met the hybridizing goals of being distinctive, having superb garden performance, being resistant to rust and containing that special knack to give you a happy feeling when you observe them. Diversity of form and size has always been one of our intentions in creating new daylilies. Please enjoy viewing our daylilies even though we are not accepting any orders this year through this website. We would like to thank the daylily world for its support of all of the Herrington daylilies over the years. We are very thankful to God for allowing us to be involved in daylily activities for 40 years for we have meet some of the most wonderful people during this time and have observed an amazing renaissance of the modern daylily. I would like to devote our association to this passage in 1 Thessalonians 5:18 - In everything give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you. My grandson Hans Herrington has his own YouTube channel now. In it he has many outstanding videos including daylilies and daylily people, in addition to humorous videos for your viewing pleasure. Below is the link to his channel. Also, Hans would greatly appreciate it if you please subscribe and turn on notifications so you can get notified when he next publishes a video. In 2021 he won the Lazarus Memorial Award for Best Video at the AHS National Convention in Hattiesburg, MS. It was a humorous YouTube video entitled ‘How To Prepare for a Daylily Show’. Thanks for sharing your time with Herrington Daylily Garden.

She was the recipient of the President’s Cup at the 2021 Hattiesburg National Convention with her ‘Off To See The Wizard’. The President’s Cup is awarded to the hybridizer of the cultivar considered to be the most outstanding of all clumps observed by attendees in national convention tour gardens. Ken Cobb, past AHS President and immediate past AHS Archivist/Historian, made a special presentation to Tim at the 2021 Region 5 conference about the history of the President’s Cup. This President’s Cup was retired in 1990 in lieu of medals. This was only the third time in thirty years that this cup has been displayed. Katisue was the founder of Herrington Daylily Garden and an outstanding hybridizer.
