Rainbow Rhythm® 'Ruby Spider' Daylily

Rainbow Rhythm® 'Ruby Spider' is a tall daylily with enormous ruby-red flowers whose long petals open wide around a radiating golden-yellow throat. Proven Winners lists it at about 34 inches tall and 18 to 24 inches wide, with summer flowering and hardiness in USDA Zones 3–9. ## Garden Use Place this selection in the middle or back of a sunny border for a strong seasonal focal point. Its 9-inch flowers make a noticeable display in groups or as a specimen, and the breeder also lists it for containers and mass planting. Bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds visit the flowers; the listing notes rabbit resistance. ## Growing Conditions Full sun gives the best flowering, while part sun is suitable. The plant tolerates a range of garden soils and average moisture, according to the breeder. Space clumps about 18 to 24 inches apart and give them room to develop their broad foliage and flowering stems. ## Maintenance Water during establishment and extended dry periods, then remove faded flower stems and damaged foliage to keep the planting neat. Divide established clumps when they become crowded.
