Description
Hymenocallis littoralis is called spider lily because of the petals, which look like spider legs.
Beach Spider Lily is a tender bulbous perennial boasting showy umbels of 4-6 large, vanilla-scented, pure white flowers from mid-summer to late fall. The flowers open up to look like giant white spiders, each blossom featuring a central cup and 6 incredibly long, slender petals. The flowers rise atop leafless stalks, well above the evergreen foliage of fleshy, crowded, glossy dark green leaves.
Environment
They perform best in full sun (but not burning sun, partial shade from the extreme heat of the sun) so give them all they can get, and a well-draining soil.
Landscape Use
They make wonderful specimens and very attractive ponds and streams plants for landscaping by a pool.
