Hymenocallis maximiliani (Maximilian's Spider Lily)

Sun to Part SunZone: 7-10 24" tall Origin: Mexico

Web-Only! This superb and easy-to-grow spider lily hails from the Mexican state of Guerrero, but was granted US amnesty in 1986. It makes a 2' wide clump, similar in size to H. 'Tropical Giant', but with much narrower, glossy green foliage. For us, it begins flowering in May and continues into July. Each 2' tall flowering stalk is topped with several huge, white, spider-like flowers. It thrives in moist rich soils but is incredibly tolerant of all but the worst drought conditions...a splendid and very floriferous garden plant. Pot size: 24 fl. oz (709.77 ml)
