Lycoris Aurea Set Of 6 Bulbs – Yellow – Van Zyverden

Product Description

Although the botanical name is Lycoris, it is more commonly known by several different names, such as: Surprise lilies, Naked Ladies, Spider Lilies, and September Lilies. It is a long-time heirloom favorite in southern gardens that produces flower clusters on strong, tall stems that are leafless. (Strap-shaped leaves emerge after the bloom stalk fades). Rodents and deer avoid them, and once established, they are both carefree and long lived. These are a sought after bulb variety in limited supply, as they are not typically available at the big box stores.
Sometimes called “resurrection flower,” as the flower spikes seemingly rise from the dead in late summer. This yellow Spider lilym – aurea – is a larger cousin to the red spider lily – Lycoris aurea. This yellow variety has larger flowers, leaves, and bulbs. The blossoms are golden orange and remind us of deciduous azaleas. It blooms when many plants are preparing to go dormant. Nice collectors variety.
