Notes

'Green Tarantula' daylily (Hemerocallis 'Green Tarantula') is a perennial for borders and pollinator gardens. It is hardy to USDA zone 3, or down to -40°F (-40°C). This plant likes full or part sun and dry to average soil. Rabbits tend to nibble other plants first. Yellow blooms with a green throat are fragrant and bring in butterflies, hummingbirds, and bees. The plant is also drought tolerant and salt tolerant.
