(aka: Lycoris x elsiae) We are pleased to introduce a new worldwide release of Lycoris x albiflora 'Phil's Gold'...a hybrid of Lycoris aurea and Lycoris radiata from lycoris breeder, Phil Adams. The 21" cinnamon stalks emerge overnight, starting for us in mid-September, soon topped with 6-7 frilly light butter-yellow flowers, highlighted by a central peach stripe down each petal. The winter foliage emerges in October and remains until late spring when it goes dormant. Light shade helps protect the foliage during periods when the winter temperatures drop below 12 degrees F.
