'God Save the Queen' grows in my friend Mary's daylily garden. It was love at first sight when she set eyes on this stunner. Plus the name made her smile, so that was the icing on the cake. What's not to like? The colors are so vivid! This daylily is a multiple award-winner and has been used extensively for hybridizing. There are eighty-six kiddos on record to be exact! In 2017 God Save the Queen won the coveted Lenington All American Award, which recognizes a cultivar that performs the best over a wide geographic area. Only one daylily gets this award each year. It's a great list to refer to if you are looking for a 'sure thing.' I have grown about a dozen cultivars that have won this award and they have all been hardy growers in my Wisconsin garden. Here's the list: Lenington All American Award Winners
God Save the Queen is an evergreen tetraploid, hybridized by Mort Morss and introduced in 2005. It's an early season bloomer that grows about 30" tall and has large 7" flowers. As shown in this photo, sometimes the petals can exhibit teeth. This daylily grows well for Mary and it's quite a standout in her landscape.
