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.
I took this picture on May 11 (in SC, zone 8) Plants growing under pines, near Sweet Grass and Crinum.little
Our plants are single bulbs with lots of side ‘pups’ dug and washed and shipped as you see in this picture.

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