Pink Super Spider Daylily: A 1982 K. Carpenter Spider

Pink Super Spider Daylily

The Pink Super Spider daylily (Hemerocallis 'Pink Super Spider'), hybridized by K. Carpenter and registered in 1982, is a spectacular spider-form daylily. Spider daylilies have petals that are extremely long and narrow (length-to-width ratio of at least 4:1), creating a dramatic, star-like flower.

This cultivar's petals are a vibrant pink, often with a deeper pink or red eye. The "Super" in its name indicates an exceptionally high petal length-to-width ratio, making the flowers look like exploding fireworks. It blooms on tall, wiry scapes in mid-season.
