Bigger broader leaves and flowers than H. littoralis, and up to 20 of those distinctive flowers on each long stem. You get your money's worth with this plant!

It's a Caribbean native so it's happy in sun or dappled shade, warm frost-free climates, doesn't mind a coastal spot. A fantastic sight planted in a row.

Description

Hymenocallis speciosa - green tinge spider lily

APPEARANCE : Upright growing strappy-leaf plant from the Caribbean, with lightly scented white flowers, up to 20 per stem. Flowers are distinctively 'spider' shaped - long curled petals around a central disc. 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: 80-70 cm H in flower x 50 cm 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.
