SCARLET PIMPERNEL (N. Ripley 2007) WINNER OF THE STOUT SILVER METAL 2019
Scarlet Pimpernel in 2013 won Honorable Mention in the first tier of the Stout Medal pyramid. In 2013, Scarlet Pimpernel tied for first place in Region One Pop Poll and in 2015 was 1st runner up for the Lambert Webster Hybridizer award for Unusual Form Cultivar. In 2016, Scarlet Pimpernel won Award of Merit in the second tier of the Stout Medal pyramid.
I was elated at the National Convention to have Scarlet Pimpernel win the Ned Roberts Spider/Unusual Form. What an honor to get this award with Region One being the host for AHS National Convention of 2013. This award, established in 2007, is to honor the memory of hybridizer Neb Roberts. Ned worked tirelessly to promote these daylily forms, acting as an educator and mentor for both collectors and hybridizers. The award is to be given annually at the AHS National Convention for the most outstanding Spider or Unusual Form cultivar blooming in a clump in a convention tour garden, as voted by attending AHS members. Thank you to those that voted for our “Scarlet Pimpernel”.
