Description
A beautiful suprise each year, the Red Spider Lily is originally native to China and Japan. I call it by its common name, "Magic Lily", because one day it is not there and the next it is!
In the spring, it sprouts a cluster of long leaves similar to mondo grass and then dies back. There is not a trace of the flower to be found from late spring to late summer. Then when I usually have forgotten all about them, I wake up one August morning and stroll through my flowers and there is my surprise...
...stands of single shoots with no leaves swaying proudly with their red spider-like blooms!
