Spider Lily 'Tropical Giant': Colossal White Spider Flowers

Spider Lily 'Tropical Giant' is a cultivar of Hymenocallis selected for its exceptionally large flowers. It produces umbels of 6-10 huge, white, spider-like flowers with very long, narrow, recurved petals and a prominent, greenish staminal cup. The flowers are fragrant, especially at night. The broad, arching, strap-like foliage is glossy green.

Tropical Spectacle

Grow in large containers in rich, moist, well-drained soil, full sun to part shade. Water and feed heavily during growth. In cold climates, bring indoors for winter, keep warm and bright, or allow to go dormant dry. The sheer size of the flowers makes it a spectacular specimen for patios, poolside, or conservatories.
