Daylily Ruby Spider

Daylily 'Ruby Spider'

Daylily Ruby Spider is a stunning perennial celebrated for its striking ruby-red, spider-shaped blooms and golden throats. Its long, elegant petals give a graceful, almost whimsical appearance that enhances any garden setting. Flowering throughout the summer, Ruby Spider is a standout in borders, perennial beds, or mixed plantings. Its lush green foliage provides a rich backdrop to the dramatic flowers, making it a centerpiece in any landscape design.

In addition to its ornamental beauty, Ruby Spider is a hardy, easy-to-grow daylily suitable for a wide range of garden conditions. It thrives in full sun but tolerates light shade, and its clumping growth habit allows for easy division to expand your display or share with other gardeners. This variety attracts pollinators such as bees and butterflies, contributing to a vibrant and healthy garden ecosystem. Ruby Spider is ideal for gardeners seeking a combination of bold color, unique form, and low-maintenance care.
