AHS Popularity Poll

Each year, AHS members in Region 1 are requested by our Regional Publicity Director, currently Steve Horan of Woodbury (MN), to complete and return a Popularity Poll questionnaire indicating which of some 80 or so listed cultivars are their garden favorites. Each member may vote for up to 10 cultivars that may also include his/her write-in candidates. Participation in this year's Pop Poll was particularly strong, and Steve is pleased to announce that the 2016 winning cultivar is 'Primal Scream' (Hansen-C., 1994).
