Hymenocallis maximillianii

Description

Growing Conditions: This rare, beautiful lily has bulbs that grow deep and a tenacious root system. Surprisingly, it also loves pond edges and partly shady areas.

Flowers: These are delicate-looking and elegant white flowers.

Flowering Season: Early July and continues into early August.

Leaves: These emerald-green leaves look great for four to nine months. The leaf length is 30 inches. The narrow, dark-green leaves distinguish this H. maximillianii from others. The leaves of this plant are definitely one of its assets. They are thick and good-looking all summer long, like fat grass.

How To Plant: Plant in small groups, three inches apart and at a depth of three to five inches. The bulbs never grow more than four inches or so in width, but they pull themselves deeply into the ground.

Where To Plant: They love to be near a leaking fountain! They thrive in normal garden soil or in completely saturated bog conditions. They’ll grow in full sun and in light shade. This is a very adaptable plant.

Our Bulbs: We ship two flowering-size bulbs together – one larger one smaller. .
