Gardening friends told me on numerous occasions what a great daylily 'Ruby Spider' was. I have to say, it wasn't until I actually grew it myself that I fully understood what they meant. Wow! If you like large nine-inch blooms, consistency and hardiness, this is the plant to have! Ruby Spider grows about 34 inches tall and is categorized as an Unusual Form-Spatulate. For a red it holds up very well in full sun. Ruby Spider was my first daylily out of the gate last spring, beginning its bloom on June 3. With re-bloom scapes, it continued through August 22!
Ruby Spider has a whopping 92 registered child plants on the books! This indicates that hybridizers value the genetics of this plant and want to pass them on to future daylilies. Hybridized by Patrick Stamile and introduced in 1991, this dormant tetraploid is a multiple award-winner that ranks very high in popularity. American Daylily Society Awards include the Award of Merit: 2002 (distinctive and beautiful); an Honorable Mention in 1999 (good performance); the Lenington All American Award: 2011 (best performer over a wide geographic area); the Lambert/Webster Award in 2002 (most outstanding unusual form); and the President's Cup (most outstanding clump) in 2004. You can't beat those credentials!
