Spider Lily Hymenocallis occidentalis

At dusk, fragrant, exotic pure-white flowers appear and bloom all night through the following morning.

Native to low-lying wet areas in the Deep South, this is a lovely plant for the sunny bog or poorly drained areas.

Graceful 2-3' stems pop up through strappy foliage. Spider Lilies love rich soils but also tolerate clay soils. One of our favorites. Native American plant.
 

The Spider Lily grows 3' tall and flowers during the summer months.

The bulb winters easily indoors as a houseplant.

Just place water filled saucer under the pot in a sunny window.

The flowers are extremely fragrant and the leaves are strap-like.

Hardy zone 7 or higher. Full sun part shade
