Description
It is one of the most decorative flowering plants. The spider lily has long, dark green, stiff leaves. In summer, large white or yellow flowers (depending on the species) appear on a tall stem. The plant grows up to 70 cm tall. The large flowers have an unusual structure with a tubular, cup-shaped corona.
Requirements
It needs regular, generous watering.
Care
The position should be sunny, warm and sheltered from the wind. It is important to water the plant regularly and generously.
Spider lilies look lovely planted in a group in the garden. They can also be planted in containers on balconies and terraces.
The spider lily does not overwinter in the ground. Lift the bulbs in autumn (even if the plants are still green) and store them in a cool cellar until spring. It is propagated by separating the offset bulbs.
