Moderately Resistant Cultivars in the Austin Study
This page highlights daylilies that show moderate rust resistance.
To appear on this page the cultivar must be in the Austin study and either one other study or have 2 or more Austin Study observations with scores >= 1.1 and < 2.0.
Some of these cultivars are still in the Austin Trial. If so it is noted in the cultivar description.
The cultivars on this page are sorted from lowest score (most resistance) to highest score. If all susceptible cultivars are removed, and these cultivars are intermixed with highly resistant cultivars they should show little to no rust.
