Lycoris (Spider Lilies) are grown for their showy funnel-shaped flowers with narrow, spreading, sometimes reflexed petals, borne on leafless stems from spring to early autumn depending on where you live. It can often be a difficult species to get into flower (sometimes taking up to 3 years) because it requires a hot dry resting period during summer followed by a soaking rain or slow irrigation to promote flowering, but they will develop into large clusters if left in the same location for a number of seasons. All varieties are deer resistant. In areas with hot summers, grow them in a sunny border or rock garden.
