|
As a service to its members and to the general public, each year ADS Region 15 conducts a popularity poll among its member to determine the favorite daylilies grown in the Carolina's. It is the hope that this Popularity Poll presents a true picture of which daylilies perform well in a given area and which are best liked by the membership. Popularity polls are important to daylily growers, both ADS members and nonmembers, who make daylily selections for purchases.
The Popularity Poll has been conducted in Region 15 since the inception of the Region in 1960. But the Pop Poll is actually quite a bit older, dating back to 1949 at least and variations of it existed since 1937 when daylilies were under the American Amaryllis Society. The 2021 winners and their rankings are shown below. |

VOTING GUIDELINES
The Popularity Poll is intended to be an individual’s own personal vote for the member’s favorite daylilies. Independent voting ensures each member’s vote will carry equal weight in choosing the Region’s most popular daylilies. Group voting and other activities which influence the poll’s outcome are not allowed and may result in those ballots not being counted. Each individual member may vote one ballot regardless of the memberships held and the voting habits of their dual members. Clubs, corporations, and institutions shall not vote, nor shall they be included when determining participation.
The results of the Popularity Poll voting is announced at the FALL MEETING, published in the Hemalina and placed on the Region 15 website.

- All ADS members are eligible to vote and should participate.
- Annually, the Region develops a Popularity Poll listing of between 75 and 100 cultivars. This is based on votes received in previous years for individual cultivars and special awards and honors received at the ADS level.
- Vote for up to, but no more than ten (10) cultivars. Members are encouraged to consider additional cultivars not in the published list, by using up to five (5) write-in votes in their total of ten (10) votes. Note: a valid ballot may consist of only one vote.
- For dual memberships, the second member shall use another copy of the ballot unless the regional ballot provides a second column for votes.
- Price need not be considered. (This means that while you can vote for expensive plants if you want to, but you are also encouraged to vote for inexpensive older varieties if they are your personal favorite.)
- Select your favorite registered, well established cultivars (no seedlings) which you have observed in your garden or immediate area.
- Ballots may be mailed or email to the Region 15 Regional Publicity Director who serves as the regional tabulator.
- Whichever submission method you choose, please submit your ballot only once.
- Annual voting must be submitted by September 1 of the current year. Ballots sent by mail and email voting must also be submitted by that date.
