Newly-Added Spiders

Bill Oakes (Stewart’s father and Ken’s grandfather) always had a sweet spot for the spider-type daylilies. At one point, he had over 400 spider-type varieties. Spider-type daylilies are characterized by their long, thin petals (a “true spider” has petals that are five times as long as they are wide), and are great for adding variety to the garden. Their unique, open forms stand out when planted with the traditional-shaped varieties, or work great in a themed bed. These varieties didn’t fit in the catalog this year, but we’re excited to offer them to you here on our website. The plants will be the same extra-large units we always ship.
