9″ bloom, 34″ tall, Early-Mid Season, Dormant
We’re pretty sure the word that describes Selma Longlegs hasn’t been invented yet. These 9″ blooms are light tangerine in color and are brushed with cinnamon surrounding an orange throat. Typical words like “gorgeous”, “breathtaking” and “stunning” don’t do it justice. For now, we’ll have to let its picture say its 1000 words (and even that is deceptive as it is much more lovely in person.)

WHAT DAYLILIES CAN I GROW: Most of you can grow any of the daylilies we sell. If you live in an area with a sustained cold period like we do in East Tennessee, you can grow all the varieties. However, If you live in an area that doesn’t get freezing weather in the winter (like zones 9 and 10), dormant varieties won’t work for you; you’ll need to choose evergreen or semi-evergreen varieties.
BIG PLANTS! When it comes to daylily plants, bigger is better! All of the plants we ship will be three fans or larger — two or three times (or more) what you might receive from other companies. Larger plants get established faster and bloom more quickly!
FARM-FRESH TO YOU! All of your plants will be freshly dug when you order. The leaves are trimmed and the plants are washed and air-dried. Your daylilies will be out of the ground less than 48 hours before they’re headed your way.
BONUS DAYLILIES: We send free daylilies (we call them “bonus” daylilies) with every order. These daylilies are equal to about 20% of your order, you get to choose what you’d like at checkout.

I only have have a few spider-type daylilies, but Selma Longlegs is my favorite! She has a huge bloom held high on tall scapes. Each bloom opens up and just glows!
I’m in southwest Ohio in zone 6.

I love the huge blooms and the cinnamon brushed color of Selma Longlegs! As an added bonus mine is proliferating which means MORE Selma Longlegs. The more the merrier! I love the explosion of color. This one will look great with most any color.

Selma Long Legs has two requirements. She should be planted either high on a hill with space around and down, or in the middle of a group of smaller daylilies. I have her right behind “Dreamcatcher” and though both are huge, both hold their own. For the price, she is a sure winner, everyone will talk about her. Selma Long Legs has a kind of orange that is velvety and smooth, and since the size of the blooms are enormous, you cannot help but see her a long way away. Again, be careful where you plant her so that she doesn’t dwarf your other daylilies or flowers. She will be the flower that you see. I have had her for two years and she has grown a few new shoots each year. Selma is one of my favorites.

Selma Long Legs dominates everything around her. She is the biggest daylily I own with long star bloom edges. She is tall, so tall that I’m stunned that the scapes do not fall over. She also has so many blooms that though she started blooming the end of June, she still has lots more to go. I would make sure that you put her high up or in the middle of a circle or square because she will take over your area and you will miss shorter smaller daylilies or flowers. I have her as high up as I can and she is the first thing you see even though she is not red. You simply cannot help it. I have Spider Man and Ruby Spider near her. Red Ribbons cannot match her so I will need to move her and move Exotic Star at some point because Selma simply says, “Hey, I’m the best thing there is around.”

No picture can show how stunning this flower is in person. At a little over one year in the ground, it’s producing huge, substantial, twisted and pretty fabulous flowers. They open nice and stay that way until late. We had two nasty hail storms which damaged leaves and bruised buds; causing some lilies to bloom deformed or spotted. Although her leaves are spotted, the flowers are perfect. Big value for such a great lily. Zone 5.
