Abstract
This article presents the results of long-term research on 64 daylily varieties cultivated at the South Ural Botanical Garden-Institute of the Ufa Federal Research Center of the Russian Academy of Sciences. From 2020 to 2025, the plant development characteristics and seasonal growth patterns were determined, daily increment dynamics were studied, and the success of their introduction into cultivation in the forest-steppe zone of the Bashkir Cis-Urals was assessed. According to the dates of the beginning of flowering, the varieties of the collection were differentiated into 3 categories: early (1st — 3rd ten days of June) — 10.9% (‘Dr. Regel’, ‘Pice Sea’, ‘Stella de Oro’, etc.), middle (1st — 3rd ten days of July) — 79.7% (‘Arctic Snow’, ‘Beverly Hills’, ‘Children’s Festival’, etc.), late (1st — 3rd ten days of August) — 9.4% (‘Autumn Red’, ‘Big Smile’, ‘Final Touch’, etc.). It was revealed that 18.8% of the varieties are highly resistant (‘Elegant Candy’, ‘Frans Hals’, ‘Red Rum’, etc.). The remaining 81.2% of the varieties are characterized as resistant (‘Bela Lugosi’, ‘Cherry Eyed Pumpkin’, ‘Double River Wye’, etc.). All studied varieties are distinguished by their decorative qualities, resistance to the region’s soil and climatic conditions, diseases, and pests, and deserve widespread use in ornamental gardening in the Republic of Bashkortostan.
