Giant Spider is my narrowest daylily I have introduced. I believe it to be the narrowest introduced to date. Ratio can be variable do to growing conditions. Color is a garnet red with a very green throat. After many years of hybridizing for a dormant red JackTemple spider, I give you Giant Spider. Parents include Rainbow Spangles, Garden Portrait,Mountain Top Experience,Wildest dreams, and Rouge and Curls. Thanks Jack. Supply is Limited........$200
