The Jeffcoat Hybridizer Award

Originally known as the Lambert Award (established in the late 1970’s), serves two purposes: first, to recognize advances in hybridizing, and second, to encourage regional hybridizers. Sponsored by the Low Country Daylily Society since 2008, the award is now named in recognition of the hybridizing contributions of Jim and Peggy Jeffcoat and their outstanding service to the mission of AHS and Region 15.
Nominations for this award are made by the hybridizers themselves.
