Notes
'Ruby Spider' daylily (Hemerocallis 'Ruby Spider') is a perennial for borders, pollinator gardens, and containers. It is hardy to USDA zone 3, or down to -40°F (-40°C). This plant likes full or part sun and dry to moist, loamy, clay, or chalky soil. Its fragrant flowers draw butterflies, hummingbirds, and bees. It sits low on the menu for rabbits. It tolerates drought and salt, so it suits tough spots.
Pairs well with American Gold Rush black-eyed Susan, Indian grass, and Nodding onion.
