'Waxed Legs' is one of my new daylilies that is quickly becoming a favorite this season. Last Thursday sealed the deal. After the torrential rain/mini-hail we received, nearly all of my early-blooming daylilies looked really beat on and ripped apart by the heavy downpour. But not Waxed Legs! The flower has a waxy, thick substance that feels like 'pleather' -- a plastic fabric that imitates leather. And it glitters! (The daylily term for this is 'diamond-dusted.') A typical flower is 13" in diameter (dinner plate size) and it grows 42" tall. You can't possibly miss this lime green beacon when it's blooming in the garden.
Waxed Legs is a 'spider' daylily. According to the American Hemerocallis Society, the definition of a spider is a flower whose petal length is four times the petal's width or more. I can only imagine how stunning this daylily will be as it multiplies into a large clump over time.
