Cardiocrinum

These giant woodland lillies are rarely grown, and some of them have a reputation for being difficult. We have found them to be easy and permanent garden plants.

They are valuable for summer bloom and fragrance in the evening.

Grow in well-drained soil in light to moderate shade. After bloom, new shoots will develop to bloom in future years.
