What is the Plant Adoption Program?

Through the Plant Adoption Program, the Daylily Society of Minnesota (DSM) purchases new cultivars for members to grow and test in their gardens. After two to three years, the daylilies will be dug for the DSM auction, and members will be able to keep some of the fans they received.

On their applications, each member is asked for suggestions for hybridizers and cultivars they think will do well in Minnesota. From those suggestions, the Plant Adoption Committee finalizes selections and places the order.
