Description: White Southern Spider Lily Hymenocallis~perennial: ONE large (2" up to 3" in size) Lily Bulb, freshly dug, without the leaves, as the leaves should be cut off before planting for best growth and appearance of new foliage. Spider lily bulbs are rare, but you can sometimes find them at nurseries and online flower delivery sites. These amaryllis relatives are just as easy to grow, and well-worth seeking. This bulb is a extremely rapid multiplier. See last picture to see how many bulbs developed from my one bulb. Growing and Caring for Spider Lilies: Once you plant bulbs, water lightly and regularly until growth emerges from the bulb. Continue watering moderately during the growing season. When the leaves start to wither in the summer, withhold water and let the soil go dry. Remove the leaves once they're yellow and withered. Lycoris albiflora is the scientific name of this white spider lily and its meaning represents the positive nature , freshness and simple living life. It is best looking variety if grown with green plants because it will become center of attention in it. White Southern Spider Lily Hymenocallis~perennial: ONE large (2" up to 3" in size) Lily Bulb, freshly dug, without the leaves, as the leaves should be cut off before planting for best growth and appearance of new foliage. These "Spider" lilies are a favorite in the South for ornamental landscaping. They will grow in a wide variety of soils (they prefer moist, but will also grow well in dry soil), and will grow well with either sun or partial shade. Although they will multiply faster if planted in the ground, they also make beautiful container plants. They are evergreen in frost-free climates, and, even though the leaves may wither and die after a hard freeze or snow, the bulbs will send up new foliage in the spring. In the South, the leaves remain vibrant and healthy looking for most of the year. They have long, tall, thick glossy leaves that resemble those of amaryllis but are a little longer/taller (about 2 to even 3 ft). The spider lily bulb, especially when planted in the ground as opposed to containers, will multiply to form more bulbs, generating clumps of long beautiful green leaves. The white blooms made up of spidery white petals appear in early July. The shape of the bloom resembles a star or spider, so hence the nickname. Most of the cultivated spider lilies in the South are old, heirloom flowers, which were originally brought from the Antilles.
