Absolutely stunning and fairly easy to grow once established.

I often removed the previous year's tattered or slug-eaten foliage to make room for a new flush of foliage and flowers, which will be more visible!

Cardiocrinum giganteum

This Himalayan native is said to be best in cool summer areas, but we succeeded here in southern Pennsylvania by planting against a north-facing wall.

After bloom the main stalk dies and offsets develop for future bloom. Plant in rich, well-drained soil with morning sun or light shade. I am finding that this plant has an undeserved reputation as being hard to grow outside of England or the Pacific Northwest. USDA Zones 6-8. 3.5" pot....

Plant arrived in excellent condition. Plant was packaged good and worth the shipping cost. Can't wait to see it bloom.
