Spider daylilies
Spiders have long narrow flower petals. The petal length to width ratio must be 4:1 or greater.
These daylilies associate well with grasses and are becoming increasingly popular. We have put daylilies in the category of Unusual Form together with the spiders as they appear spider-like but do not have the appropriate dimensions.
They tend to show some twisting, curling or pinching in the flower segments which give them a sculptured, almost architectural look. These can be very interesting to use in garden design.

All photographs on this website were taken in our garden and accurately show how daylilies grow in an english climate. Please do not reuse these images without permission.
