Comments:  Hemerocallis 'Wilson Spider' or Daylily is an easy to grow rebloomer that is tolerant to many soil types.  It keeps flowering from Spring to Fall which really helps brighten up the garden. To bring out the best colors in the daylily, light colors have to be in full sun (at least 6 hours) while the dark colors have to be in part shade during the hottest part of the day so their colors would not fade.
