Newly Added Spiders

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. The spiders are characterized by their long, thin petals (a “true spider” has petals that are 5 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 the web. The plants will be the same extra-large units we always ship.
