Description
Some people call this African Hosta but it’s actually an amazing drought tolerant lily groundcover for the shade!
Growing Conditions: Light to heavy shade. Dry to moist soil. Thrives under the edge of shrubs.
Flowers: From April, through October, white flowers – just 8 inches tall but impressively showy – stand up tall.
Leaves: In early March, leaves emerge. Black/burgundy spots on emerald background make this a plant to appreciate up close.
How To Plant: Bulbs can be in the ground but sometimes they choose to grow on top of the ground; even through the winter.
Where To Plant: A tough, reliable ground cover, this plant works anywhere.
Our Bulbs: We ship 2 big clumps (in 4″ pots) for $22. You can plant as a whole or separate them out for a groundcover — they grow quickly.

Mike B –
This came in perfect condition. It was nicely packaged, labeled and already growing is a pot with soil. Nice sized bulb. Much of my yard has become shaded and I think this will be a welcome conversation piece and change from begonias, ferns and standard ground covers.

You can divide it up when you plant. Every tiny bulb will grow.
