This lush broad-leaf spider lily was thought to be extinct. No one had seen it in the wild for around 150 years. Then it was rediscovered in a Mexican rainforest - and now you can enjoy its luxuriant beauty in your back yard!

To give this plant the home it deserves, it needs dappled shade, a warm frost-free site, and reliable water. We reckon it might also make a beautiful indoor plant.

Description

Hymenocallis eucharidifolia - eucharis spider lily

APPEARANCE : Upright growing broad leaf bordering plant with lightly scented white flowers. Eucharidifolia means 'eucharis-leaf'. Flowers are distinctively 'spider' shaped - long curled petals around a central disc - with broader petals than H. littoralis. Grows in clumps naturally.
USE FOR : In groups as a mass display of flowering colour along borders and pathways. Suitable for large pots inside and out. A ground cover below shady trees; or in full sun.
CLIMATE : Frost free, humid
PLANTING: Spider lilies prefer moist conditions and are suited to coastal and wet areas around water features and low lying areas of the garden. Plant in full sun to part shade. They're also approved by the Fire Service for planting near houses as they have low flammability.
CARE: Mulch and water well, especially during dry periods. If plants become crowded, simply dig out excess plants and plant elsewhere or share with the neighbours!
HEIGHT & WIDTH: 80cm H x 1 m W.
YOUR PLANTS : These are tubestock plants, healthy young plants with new roots that will establish quickly in your garden. The pot size is 80mm high and 42 mm wide.
