Source-derived summary

Siloam daylilies are cultivars of daylilies registered with the American Hemerocallis Society by Pauline Henry of Siloam Springs, Arkansas. Mrs. Henry registered over 450 daylilies during her lifetime. Most of her daylilies were given a name beginning with the word "Siloam", hence "Siloam Daylilies".

History

Pauline Henry registered her first daylilies in 1963 with Siloam Satin, Siloam Splendor and Siloam Springs. Siloam Double Classic earned the prestigious Stout Silver Medal in 1993, the society's highest award. She remained active in daylilies for the remainder of her life; registering 15 cultivars in her final year, dying on September 20, 2000, at the age of 92.

Siloam daylily cultivars are still very popular. Today's hybridizers are still cultivating Siloam daylilies as many of the new cultivars of daylilies have been crossed with a Siloam daylily.

Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

“Siloam daylilies” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Siloam, daylilies and group provides the most credible route into that argument.

Evidence profile

Datasets, specimens, observations and peer-reviewed methods provide the appropriate test for the technical claims summarized here. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jul 24, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q7515515. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 1963, 1993 and 2000.

Critical limits

A general summary may omit uncertainty, sample limits or methodological disagreement that is explicit in the technical record. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
