Description
Growing Conditions: This plant thrives in light shade. It will also grow in heavy shade but only with rich, organic, moist soil. In the sun, its leaves grow very compactly.
Flowers: Flowers are stunning and have a vanilla fragrance. The flower stalks grow to a height of 36 inches. Wide open petals pour perfume in the night garden but fade by afternoon. Lime green buds are stunning too.
Flowering Season: June through frost, but never tons of flowers at any one time
Leaves: Wide, rich-green, and upright leaves make a tropical-looking statement all summer long. Beautiful to contrast well with other shade plants.
How To Plant: Plant at a depth of eight to ten inches.
Where To Plant: This bulb makes plenty of pups. We once did a planting of it under the canopy of a low-branched star magnolia tree where it thrived even with root competition. It looks great with variegated carex or next to a pond.
Our Bulbs: Our bulbs are the size of baseballs.
