Red Spider Lily (Lycoris radiata): Autumn's Scarlet Surprise

Red Spider Lily (Lycoris radiata) is a spectacular autumn-blooming bulb that appears like magic after late summer rains. Leafless stems bear umbels of brilliant coral-red flowers with long, spidery, recurved petals and prominent stamens. Its foliage emerges in fall and persists through winter. A cherished heirloom in Southern gardens, it naturalizes beautifully.
